Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Considering the group of phosphates, ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate (MAP), diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate (DAP), single superphosphate (SSP) and triple superphosphate (TSP) it is clear that all phosphates show a low or negligible toxicity to aquatic species: lowest fish LC50 >85.9 mg/L (100 mg/L based on nominal conc.) (MAP), and 1700 mg/L for DAP; lowest invertebrate EC50 =1790 mg/L (SSP); lowest algae NOEC≥87.6 mg/L (100 mg/L based on nominal conc.) (TSP) and lowest respiration inhibition EC50>100 mg/L (SSP and DAP). Considering calcium sulfate with regard to SSP and TSP shows much higher toxicity values. Therefore, the aquatic toxicity of the phosphates was based on the here mentioned studies.
Additional information
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.
