Description of key information
In the aquatic compartment, citric acid is expected to be rapidly degraded based on the results from several ready and inherent aerobic biodegradation tests. Since citric acid is formed by the reaction of lithium citrate or lihtium citrate tetrahydrate with water, read-across with citric acid is considered as reasonable.
Additional information
Biodegradation in water: screening tests
Lithium citrate and lithium citrate tetrahydrate completely dissociates in water forming lithium hydroxide and citric acid. Thus, citric acid was found to be a suitable candidate for read-across.
Based on several ready and inherent aerobic degradation tests, citric acid is expected to be rapidly degradable in the aquatic compartment.
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.
