Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Based on the availble data the effects on terrestrial organisms are determined for EDTA (acid form) and its salts,for justification for read-across see IUCLID 5, Chapter 13. A LC50 -value derived from a 14 days acute test for earthworm was determined to be 158 mg/kg dry weight soil (Edwards, 2009). According to Evangelou et al. (2006) EDTA did not show adverse effect on vegetative vigour of Nicotiana tabacum up to and including an rate of 84 mg/kg soil. An ECx could not be calculated.
Due to the water solubility and the hydrophilic character of the substance a binding to the solid soil phase is negligible. Hence EDTA will be preferable expected in the pore water. It could be shown that the substance is enhanced biodegradable in water (see chapter 5.2.1). Therefore no further tests on terrestrial microorganisms are provided.
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.
