Description of key information
Additional information
No terrestrial toxicity studies have been performed on trisodium trimetaphosphate for the following reasons:
Trisodium trimetaphosphate will ultimately breakdown to give phosphate and sodium ions (as detailed in section 5.1 and 5.2 of this dossier). Both phosphate and sodium are ubiquitous in the environment and are found naturally in soil, water and sediment. Sodium and phosphate will be assimilated by species residing in the sediment and is necessary to maintain a good chemical balance in soils, water and sediment.
Due to the natural occurrence of the constituent breakdown products of trisodium trimetaphosphate in the environment and given the extensive use of inorganic phosphates as soil fertilizers and the natural occurrence of the ions in the environment it is unlikely that inorganic phosphates of this nature would have a detrimental effect on soil microorganisms and hence toxicity studies are scientifically unjustified.
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.
