Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
With high probability acutely not harmful to aquatic algae.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In analogy to the NTA acid the aquatic toxicity to algae was investigated with the salt Na3NTA.
The inhibitory effect of NTA was determined in a 72 hour static test with the green algae Scenedesmus subspicatus [BASF AG, 1999]. Based on growth rate the 72-hour EC50 was > 100 mg/L.
The NOEC derived from the results was 1.56 mg/L (equivalent to 1.16 mg/L NTA acid). This was considered as not biological relevant as the effects observed in the next three higher dose rates were below 10 %. Thus the EC10 of 22.8 mg/L were taken into account as lowest endpoint where no effect was determined.
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.
