Additional information
No data available on this substance. However, there are relevant published data on sulphates and sulphites.
Sulphites, which are commonly used as preservatives, are continuously formed in the body during the metabolism of sulphur-containing amino acids. Sulphite is rapidly oxidized to sulphate ion by sulphite oxidase in the liver (Vural Kucukatay et al, and Sun YP et al). Four rats given oral doses of sodium metabisulfite as a 0.2% solution eliminated 55% of the sulphur as sulphate in the urine within the first four hours (Bhagat & Locket 1960). A rapid and quantified elimination of sulphites as sulphate was also observed in man and dog (Rost 1933).
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.
