DIBP poses a risk to human health and the environment. SCCPs persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations and bio-accumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment. Moreover, the solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead (measured value up to 40.2% by weight). Lead poses a risk to the environment.
