Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
An assessment of the environmental toxicity has been made on the basis of a read-across between analogous Mn2+ containing substances.
All substances used as source chemicals for read-across contain Mn2+ and are very soluble in water. Due to the inorganic nature and high solubility of these materials (manganese sulphate, manganese chloride, and manganese hydrogen phosphate) the anions and cations may be considered separately. Chloride, sulphate or phosphate anions are naturally occurring components of all biological fluids and as such are not considered to have any influence on the effective toxicity of Mn2+ nor any toxicity in their own right and can be disregarded when assessing the toxicity of these materials.
Any toxicological effects will be as a result of the presence of Mn2+ and therefore an assessment of the relative toxicity of soluble inorganic manganese salts with non-toxic anions can be made on the basis of data from similar substances, such as:
- Manganese bis(dihydrogen phosphate)
- Manganese hydrogen phosphate
- Manganese sulphate
- Manganese chloride
When considering a testing strategy for manganese phosphates, tests have been performed on manganese hydrogen phosphate as that contributes the greater amount of Mn2+ on a %w/w basis (36.4% as compared to 22% in manganese bis(dihydrogen phosphate) these results will be directly read across to manganese bis(dihydrogen phosphate) as they are representative of a worst-case for manganese phosphates.
Further, where results from studies on manganese sulphate or manganese chloride are reported as units of manganese (e.g. mg Mn/L) a molecular weight calculation has been performed to translate the value into units of manganese hydrogen phosphate. This value will then be used for manganese bis(dihydrogen phosphate) as a worst-case.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
