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.

Additional information

Sodium sulfate is not expected to bioaccumulate. It dissociates in water and the sulfate ion is easily reduced in the sulfur cycle. Furthermore, sodium and sulfate ions are essential to all living organisms and their intracellular and extracellular concentrations are actively regulated.

From Source: SODIUM SULPHATE CAS N°: 7757-82-6 OECD SIDS April 2005

Bioconcentration of sodium sulfate was predicted using the EPI-Suite program (2000). The predicted BCF is 0.5, which is very low and does not suggest any concern with respect to bioaccumulation. Sodium and sulfate ions are essential to all living organisms and their intracellular and extracellular concentrations are actively regulated. Some plants (e.g. corn andKochia Scoparia), are capable of accumulating sulfate to concentrations that are potentially toxic to ruminants. (Gould, 1991)
