Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Under relevant pH conditions as typically met in most surface waters (pH  7-9), hydroxylamine is almost entirely abundant as uncharged molecule  (see also Chapter 4.21). Therefore, the hazard assessment of  hydroxylamine and its salts can be considered as the hazard assessment of  hydroxylamine, exclusively. Toxicity of the corresponding anion of  Bis(hydroxylammonium) sulphate or Hydroxylammonium, hydrochloride may be  neglected since toxicity values for various relevant salts, such as NaCl  or Na2SO4, have been shown to be far greater than 100 mg/l (e.g. Mount et al.  1997).

Data are available concerning the short-term effects on fish, daphnia and algae for Bis(hydroxylammonium)sulphate. However, most of the information is not completely reliable and can only be used as indicative information. Furthermore, a highly reliable chronic test is available, examining daphnia in a semistatic system. The PNECaquatic has been derived from the latter, chonic study.
