Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Additional information

The substance has a very low vapour pressure, and also does not sublime at ambient temperature. Therefore, the substance will not be present as a gas and no radical reactions can be expected. According to its chemical properties, hydrolysis is not expected/probable. Photodegradation in water is not relevant because it dissociates rapidly into ions and decomposes in water, and it not susceptible to visible light.

The substance is an inorganic compound which does not undergo biodegradation. The substance readiliy dissociates in aqueous solution, as with soil moisture. Bioaccumulation is not to be expected. a low log Kow underlines this statement.

Due to the ionic salt-character and other physico-chemical properties (negligible vapour pressure, very high water solubility and decomposition in water), the Henry constant is near to zero. Because of its ionic nature, ammonium sulfite as well as its dissociation products are not volatile from aqueous solutions. Relevant adsorption onto soils, sediments or suspended matter is not expected.
