Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Outdoor experimental stream including two pools and 50 m total length at  
National Fisheries Contaminant Research Center.
Monitoring of nutrient dynamics: no effect
Leaf decomposition:		 no effect
Benthic algal dynamics:	         no effect
Benthic invertebrates:       
  number, diversity		 no effect
Insect emergence:			 no effect
Benthic organisms, drift:	effect, immediatly starting when soil with TPP  
conc. >= 400  mg/kg was added, thereafter sedation
Fish:  no mortality in caged bluegills exposed for 96 h each week. After  the 
treatments at 400, 800, and 1600 mg/kg, bluegills were visually  examined and 
x-rayed for vertebral abnormalities known to occur after laboratory exposure 
to some arylphosphates. The findings of Mayer et al.  1981 were confirmed (see 
chapt. 4.5.1), no such sublethal effects were  detected with TPP.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
There was no effect of TPP on nutrient dynamics, leaf decomposition, Benthic algal dynamics, Benthic invertebrates (number, diversity), insect emergence. However there was an effect on Benthic organisms (drift), immediatly starting when soil with TPP conc. >= 400 mg/kg was added, thereafter sedation. There was no mortality in caged bluegills exposed for 96 h each week.
Executive summary:

There was no effect of TPP on nutrient dynamics, leaf decomposition, Benthic algal dynamics, Benthic invertebrates (number, diversity), insect emergence. However there was an effect on Benthic organisms (drift), immediatly starting when soil with TPP conc. >= 400  mg/kg was added, thereafter sedation. There was no mortality in caged bluegills exposed for 96 h each week.
