CSDS/MSDS of Zinc Phosphate a disgrace?

Zinc Phosphate is one of the most important chemical used in the automotive industry. It serves as the initial layer of coating to the naked metal bodies of our vehicles before undergoing subsequent coating and painting finishes. It is an environmental hazardous substance especially to the aquatic life. Despite repeated exposure to workers who work in related activities, little is known of its actual effect to human. Or, are some entities have undisclosed information? I implore local universities whose undergraduates are related in studies of the Environmental Sciences and Engineering be given a chance to deepen findings on this substance. Its existing CSDS/MSDS is still suspicious to a sceptic scientific mind. Take a look at one sample of its CSDS I retrieved recently. While some countries banned this substance, they persists in different names as displayed under 'synonyms'.
