Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The normal approach to modelling binding behaviour in environmental exposure assessment takes its approach from an inherent assuption that the substance is binding only to the organic components of substrates (i.e. organic carbon present in soils, sediments, and WWTP sludges). This assumption does not apply to DTPMP and its salts.
DTPMP and its salts adsorb strongly to inorganic surfaces, soils and sediments, in model systems and mesocosms; this has implications for the approach to environmental fate modelling. High adsorption is consistent with similar behaviour seen for structural analogues, and other common complexing agents such as EDTA.
The nature of the adsorption is believed to be primarily due to interaction with inorganic substrate. While Koc is the conventional indicator for adsorption, there is not necessarily any interaction with organic carbon present in the substrate in the case of these substances.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A Log Koc value of ca. 3.99 was obtained by evaluating Ksediment-water datain a reliable study conducted according to generally accepted scientific principles. (Michael, 1979). River sediments were analysed by using liquid scintillation on day 0,1,2,4,8. Methods and sample data were represented clearly and the test substance was being described adequately. The result considered as reliable and has been assigned as key study.
A paper (Jaworska, 2002) supported the measured data for water sediment and water active sludge studies.
Studies were also carried out on two studies (Nowack and Stone, 1999). Goethite was used as a testing medium in both cases. Adsorptions were reported in both cases. Another study (Nowack, 2002) has been reported the same phenomena using active sludge as testing medium. However, no quantitative result has been reported and therefore they all are treated as supporting studies.
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.
