Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The read across approach with THPS is permitted because the hydrolysis of the cation is assumed to be independent from the anion. THPS undergoes hydrolysis at 25°C with half-life times of 133 days (pH 5), 72.2 d (pH 7) and 6.83 d (pH 9). One metabolite (THPO) is observed; its concentrations in terms of the starting concentration of the test item were 17.8% (after 29 days at pH 5), 28% (after 29 days at pH 7) and 95.9% (after 28 days at pH 9).
Laboratory experiments with photolysis by UV of aqueous solutions of the read across substance THPS (20 mg/L) showed an almost complete conversion to THPO within 2 hours both in freshwater and in synthetic seawater with maximum conversion at environmentally relevant pH.
The read across approach with THPS is permitted for the biodegradation because the anions of both substances are inorganic, and therefore only the biodegradation of the organic phosphonium cation is the key issue. For the read across substance THPS an aerobic biodegradation of >20 % after 28 days in an OECD 302B test is reported. Biodegradation simulation tests with the read across substance THPS shows half-life times of 6 days in water and 7 days in sediment.
The calculated partition coefficient log Kow value for THPC is very low (-9.8). The experimental BCF study on larvae of Artemia salina shows a maximum BCF = 93.75. The adsorption of the read across substance THPS to organic carbon in soils and sediments with 0.17 - 1.1% organic carbon was determined to be in the range Koc = 72 - 266 indicating medium to high mobility in soils and sediments.
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.
