Additional information
Lactic acid is a ubiquitous and essential molecule of life; acute effects, as well as (external) long-term effects are most likely the results of physical processes (pH-effect; electrostatic effects). Chronic effects are not relevant in the context of risk assessment. No environmental hazards have been identified.
Conclusion on classification
Potassium-S-lactate fully dissociates into K+ ions and lactate ions in aqueous environments, is readily biodegradable, does not bioaccumulate and has a low potential for adsorption to sediment and soil.
The ecotoxicology of potassium-S-lactate can be understood in terms of the ecotoxicology of potassium chloride and lactic acid. No adverse effects of potassium chloride were observed in acute aquatic toxicity studies with fish, daphnids and algae. Lactic acid is practically non-toxic to aquatic organisms apart from a pH effect, which is irrelevant for potassium-S-lactate. Lactate does not have to be labelled for environmental effects, and no short- or long-term effects are expected. As such no relevant hazards are identified.
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.
