Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- Ammonia is generated as a product of metabolism by bacteria present in STPs from other sources including nitrogenous waste. STPs will therefore contain ammonia generated by bacteria from other sources at potentially much higher levels. Ammonium is readily converted by bacterial species to nitrate, via the process of nitrification. The primary stage of nitrification, the oxidation of ammonium to nitrite (NO2-) is performed by Nitrosomonas (among other) species. Other bacterial species (including Nitrobacter) are responsible for the subsequent oxidation of nitrite to nitrate (NO3-).
Reference
Description of key information
Ammonia is used as a source of nitrogen by microorganisms and is also produced by bacteria from other nitrogenous compounds. A waiver is therefore proposed for this endpoint as testing is not relevant.

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).
