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

Additional information

Calcium lactate fully dissociates into Ca2+ ions and lactate. The ecotoxicological effects of lactate in the environment can be understood in terms of the ecotoxicological effect of lactic acid. Calcium ions - i.e. simple calcium salts, are non-toxic.

Lactic acid is readily biodegradable (see 5.2.1) and is a ubiquitous and essential molecule of life. It will not adsorb to soil (see 5.4.1). As such there is no relevance in the hazard assessment for terrestrial organisms.
