Description of key information
Additional information
Based on HF / KF data in one hand and NH4Cl data in the other hand, NH4F is assumed to be highly reactive. Once released into the environment, it is unlikely to remain in its original form for any significant length of time.
Ammonium fluoride will rapidly dissociate in aqueous conditions at an environmentally relevant pH into 2 types of compounds:
- Ammonium (NH3, NH4+) which will be rapidly mineralized by bacteria into nitrite compounds, and
- Fluoride ions which will further be transformed in air, water, sediment and soil to form various inorganic fluoride salts and organic complexes.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
