Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Results and discussion

Results (fetuses)

Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
Teratogenic investigations were combined with a series of distribution experiments to follow nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) within dam and fetus by
means of radio labelled NTA. NTA exerted no embryotoxic effect and produced no malformations though there was appreciable placental passage of radioactivity onto the fetus.
