Constituent 1
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- The anhydride was examined, but in view of rapid hydrolysis, the epxosure to the test system was effectively to the acid.
This is considered a valid substitute for read-across as the potassium salt will quickly dissociate; when diluted in solution, both the potassium salt and acid will combine with Calcium and Magnesium ions in natural water and form poorly soluble salts.
