Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

PBT assessment: overall result

PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

The test item has a salt like character consiting of ethanolamine and etidronic acid. From a formal point of view the registered substance is readily biodegradable fulfilling the criteria for ready biodegradation. However, a closer look on the mass balance indicates that a stable metabolite may be  formed.  Whereas the ethanolamine is expected to degrade fast after dissociation in water, the etidronic acid part may be stable. A REACH dossier is confirming that the substance is not readily biodegradable, not bioaccumulative based on log KOW (-3.5), and has a chronic toxicity of > 0.01 mg/l and a acute toxicity of >1 mg/l

Although etidronic acid is not readily biodegradable, the substance is not classified and labelled with regard to ecotoxicological properties.

Similarly also for ethanolamine (CAS: 141 -43 -5) a REACH dossier is available confirming that the substance is readily biodegradable, not bioaccumulative based on log KOW (1.32), and has a chronic toxicity of > 0.01 mg/l.
