Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Terrestrial toxicity is not a standard information requirement in Annex VIII of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. Furthermore, the substance is expected to have a low potential for adsorption to soil based on its ionic structure under environmental relevant pH conditions.
Nevertheless, for the analog substances EDTA (CAS 60-00-4) and disodium dihydrogen EDTA (CAS 139-33-3) information on terrestrial toxicity is available. One publication describes the short-term toxicity of EDTA (acid form) on soil macroorganisms [Edwards et al. 2009]. In this study according to OECD guideline 207 a 14 day LC50 value of 158 mg/kg dry weight was determined for the earthworm Eisenia fetida. Two further investigations published the impact of EDTA on agricultural plants [Evangelou et al. 2006 and Geebelen et al. 2002]. EDTA did not show adverse effect on vegetative vigour of Nicotiana tabacum up to and including a rate of 84 mg/kg soil.
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.
