Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Data from both EDG and Na3NTA were used to evaluate the ecotoxicological profile; some read across was applied to the endpoints. For EDG mainly acute studies were available, while for Na3NTA both acute and chronic studies were present. The structural comparability, similar environmental fate & behaviour and similar sensitivity of aquatic organisms in acute studies to both EDG and Na3NTA justify extrapolation.

Additional data, albeit not always reliable, confirm the short-term and long term toxicity endpoints used to derive the PNECs above.

Conclusion on classification

Reliable toxicity data are available for freshwater species representing fish, invertebrates, algae, microorganisms and a mollusc. Short-term (acute) exposures of EDG and Na3NTA showed toxicity values generally > 100 mg/L. All trophic levels of aquatic organisms revealed similar sensitivities to EDG and Na3NTA. Long-term exposures to invertebrates and fish revealed NOECs of 7.5 and >43 mg/L, respectively, based on the values from Na3NTA. For EDG a NOEC for algae was concluded at 12 mg/L.

These short- and long-term data, when considered with bioaccumulative and degradation information (readily biodegradable), result in EDG being non-classified and considered to be practically non-toxic to aquatic organisms.
