Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Data available bring to the conclusion that Sodium Sulfate is expected to be non-toxic to arthropods.
Executive summary:

All data reported are published on Ecotox database.

The ECOTOXicology database (ECOTOX) is a source for locating single chemical toxicity data for aquatic life, terrestrial plants and wildlife. ECOTOX was created and is maintained by the U.S.EPA,Office of Research and Development (ORD), and theNational Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory's (NHEERL's)Mid-Continent Ecology Division (MED).

ECOTOX integrates three previously independent databases - AQUIRE, PHYTOTOX, and TERRETOX - into a unique system which includes toxicity data derived predominately from the peer-reviewed literature, for aquatic life, terrestrial plants, and terrestrial wildlife, respectively.

Data available are related to several different species, conducted with different durations and on different types of water; no further details are reported because original publications are not available, thus all data reported are considered to be reliable in the same way.

Conclusion

Data available bring to the conclusion that Sodium Sulfate is expected to be non-toxic to arthropods.
