Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
For this endpoint a waiver is proposed, and a supporting study (Sterner, 1993) although Klimisch 3 scored, is presented.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
There is an adequate data set for mammalian toxicity and no indication from the chemical safety report to suggest that testing would be required. No study is proposed for phosphoric acid.
In the supporting study (Sterner, 1993) in which rock doves are exposed for 2 days via inhalation to phosphoric acid aerosols, no evidence of systemic effects were provided. The available data implies that the observed nutrient depletion/fluid loss are due to acid aerosol-induced ulcerations of soft tissue, although the presence of ulcers/edema is unconfirmed. Another explanation for the consumatory behaviour is the stress caused by handling and chamber confinement of the doves.
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.
