Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

No influence could be seen by injection of an increasing dose of 0.7 to 10 mg and 30 mg pentasodium triphosphate and sodium metaphosphate after 72 h. The injection of 15 mg pentasodium triphosphate per egg after 24 h was shown to be ineffective. The same dose of sodium metaphosphate per egg after 24 h was shown to be ineffective. The same dose of sodium metaphosphate showed a lethal effect. A noxious effect was observed after injection of 5 mg/egg. The lethal dose was abruptly obtained by injection of 10 - 15 mg/egg. Embryos of 2nd and 3rd brooding day showed characteristic misshapes of the brain, heart and primordium and the somites. Histological investigations resulted in anomalies of the brain primordium, the degeneration of the neurocanal, an enlargement of the erythrocyteless embryonical vessels and a swelling of mesenchym cells and their nuclei.

The injection of 15 mg disodium hydrogen phosphate-2-hydrate 24 h after brooding had no noxious effect.

Later injections of sodium metaphosphate had not toxic effect, thus the embryo might be able to detoxicate sodium metaphosphate between the 2nd and 3rd brooding day.

Later injections of sodium metaphosphate had not toxic effect, thus the embryo might be able to detoxicate sodium metaphosphate between the 2nd adn 3rd brooding day.

Study is not considered to be of relevance for REACH registration and therefore results cannot be used in a meaningful way and should be disregarded.
