Description of key information
Additional information
Due to the salt-character of ammonium sulphate, potassium sulfate and sodium sulphate, the calculation of a fugacity model is not appropriate. The ionic nature and high water solubility of the substances indicate a high mobility in soils. Thus water is expected to be the main target compartment of the substances. However, depending on the physico-chemical properties of the soil ion-ion interactions may occur. Particularly ammonium is known to bind to negatively charged soil particles such as clay. Though, ammonium is not expected to be persistent in soil. In the environment the ion will be rapidly oxidised to nitrate by nitrifying bacteria that are ubiquitous in natural soil and in water. The negatively charged nitrate ion is mobile in soils. Since ammonium sulphate, potassium sulfate and sodium sulphate are inorganic salts the vapour pressure is expected to be negligible and therefore there will be no transfer to or via the atmosphere.
