Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicity to soil macroorganisms except arthropods
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
LC50: 156 mg/kg dry weight EDTA. Toxicity of HEDTA on soil macroorganisms is considered likely to be low based on read-across to the EDTA study. Expressed as HEDTA-H3 the Ec50 would be 148 mg/kg soil dw
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Short-term EC50 or LC50 for soil macroorganisms:
- 148 mg/kg soil dw
Additional information
There was no data available regarding toxicity of HEDTA to soil macroorganisms except arthropods. Read-across to studies on a structural analogue of the substanc, EDTA, indicates low toxicity to earthworms. The studies were based on iron phosphate based molluscicides which included EDTA. A 14 day LC50 of EDTA to earthworms was estimated to be 156 mg/kg dry weight soil.
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).
