Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

As common components occuring naturally in the environment, numerous data are available on the toxicity of sodium chloride, sodium carbonate and sodium sulfate towards aquatic organisms. The studies summarised in this dataset have focused on test results based on international guidelines and only key studies for the three constituents of the reaction mass were selected.

 

Available data support the fact that the three constituents of the reaction mass display similar and very low toxicity towards aquatic organisms. In addition, there is no strong difference in sensitivity among vertebrates (fish), invertebrates (Daphnia) and Algae and Cyanobacteria.

As no information was available (and required) for the reaction mass itself, a worst case approach was applied. For each endpoint, the lowest LC/EC50 or NOEC/EC10 among sodium chloride, sodium carbonate and sodium sulfate was selected as reflecting the toxicity of the reaction mass.
