Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Experimental data on the toxicity of Boron orthophosphate (CAS 13308-51-5) to sediment organisms are not available.
A batch equilibrium study or leaching study did not conducted for Boron orthophosphate considering a high background values and low water solubility of the substance.
Boron is adsorbed onto soil particles, with the degree of adsorption depending on the type of soil, pH, salinity, organic matter content, iron and aluminium oxide content, iron- and aluminium-hydroxy content, and clay content. Boron adsorption can vary from being fully reversible to irreversible, depending on the soil type and condition. The greatest adsorption is observed between a pH of 7.5 and 9.0 (WHO, 2003).

Additional information
Experimental data on the adsorption/desorption of Boron orthophosphate (CAS 13308-51-5) are not available.
Testing the adsorption/desorption behaviour according to OECD Guideline 121 is not feasible as the test method is not validated for inorganic substances. A batch equilibrium study or leaching study did not conducted for Boron orthophosphate considering a high background values and low water solubility of the substance. Boron is adsorbed onto soil particles, with the degree of adsorption depending on the type of soil, pH, salinity, organic matter content, iron and aluminium oxide content, iron- and aluminium-hydroxy content, and clay content.
