Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:
Considering the use of 5-nitrosalicylic acid, as a dye and medicinal intermediate; the most likely route of exposure is expected to be dermal. However, considering that in an industrial environment the use of gloves is prevalent, dermal absorption shall be limited.


Details on distribution in tissues:
5-nitrosalicylic acid is soluble in water as well as methanol. Thus, it is highly likely that this substance, if absorbed is likely to be distributed to the other parts of the living system through the blood and lipids. But given its low bio-concentration factor (BCF) of 3.2, 5-nitrosalicylic acid shall not bio-accumulate in the living system and is likely to be excreted out of the body.


Details on excretion:
5-nitrosalicylic acid is soluble in water as well as methanol. Thus, it is highly likely that this substance, if absorbed is likely to be distributed to the other parts of the living system through the blood and lipids. But given its low bio-concentration factor (BCF) of 3.2, 3-oxoglutaric acid shall not bio-accumulate in the living system. As a general rule, the chemicals that do not bio-accumulate are likely to be excreted out of the body either through urine, bile or faeces.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): other: no or low bio-accumulation potential based on the properties
Based upon the physico-chemical properties and bio-concentration factor of 5-nitrosalicylic acid, it has been deduced that the chemical has potentially no or low bio-accumulative property and shall be eliminated from the body system through urine, bile or feaces posing no danger to the living organism.

Executive summary:

Based upon the physico-chemical properties and bio-concentration factor of 5-nitrosalicylic acid, it has been deduced that the chemical has potentially no or low bio-accumulative property and shall be eliminated from the body system through urine, bile or feaces posing no danger to the living organism.
