Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Note 1: because EDTA-CuNa2 is hardly absorbed from the gut and is not metabolized no significant differences in toxicokinetics are expected and as such the assessment factor of 2.5 (in case of systemic effects) would not be warranted. However, in view of possible differences in absorption of copper in individuals it was proposed to use this assessment factor.

Note 2: in several European countries the occupational exposure limit for copper (dust) is 1 mg/m3; in some other European countries this limit is 0.2 or 0.1 mg/m3. These limits for copper would correspond to 397.7/63.5 (MW EDTA-CuNa2 / MW Cu) x 1, 0.2 or 0.1, or 6.3, 1.25 or 0.63 mg EDTA-CuNa2/m3, respectively. The calculated DNEL of 1.8 mg/m3 is slightly higher than 0.63 mg/m3 or 1.25 mg/m3 (but lower than 6.3 mg/m3). However, copper-ions are strongly bound by EDTA, they will presumably not be deliberated easily and the unchanged EDTA-copper-complex will be rapidly excreted.
