Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 reliable study with ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate nor diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate is present. Based on a reliable 72-hours study performed with single superphosphate an EC50 of 1790 mg/l at 20.7°C was determined. As the result, by analogy with superphosphate, reaction mass of ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate and diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate should not show any adverse effects on daphnids.

Additional information

No reliable study with ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate nor diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate is present, however one with a substance from the phosphate category is available. In a reliable study performed according to "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and wastewater (APHA-1975)", Daphnia carinata collected from local ponds were exposed to single superphosphate for 72 hr. Although the recommended exposure time is 48 hr it is not expected to have affected the study as the LC50 values are high. LC50 values after 72 -hours of exposure at both 20.7°C and 30.8°C are 1790 and 1825 mg/L, respectively.

Based on this data on an analogue, the reaction mass of ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate and diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate should not show any adverse effect on daphnids. As test items are dissolved in water during aquatic toxicity tests, a similar conclusion can be drawn out for both forms of the reaction mass (i.e. solid and liquid).
