Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

For estimation of emissions from wide dispersive uses (e.g. consumer products) the ERC 8a was selected allowing the application of sludge from STPs on soil.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the calculation for diffusive emissions - ERC 8a - (STP sludge application allowed) freshwater, seawater and soil are the major compartments of concern
