Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
No soil macroorganism toxicity studies are available for DTPA acid.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Soil exposure is unlikely, since there is no direct application of DTPA Acid on soils. In addition, laboratory testing of solutions of H4EDTA and ZnEDTA were eluted through various surface soils and were found to move quite readily through the soils and be only very slightly adsorbed (Cheng et al., 1972). A model calculation of the distribution of EDTA metal complexes between water and suspended solids resulted in a finding that <1% of the total EDTA is adsorbed, and according to the fugacity model Mackay level I, the preferred environmental component for EDTA is the hydrosphere (99.999%) (EU, 2004). Thus, based on a read across approach from EDTA, low adsorption is predicted for DTPA, and soil testing is therefore not necessary for DTPA, especially since there is no direct application of DTPA Acid to soils.
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.
