Additional information

According to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 phototransformation in water is not mandatory for inorganic substances like aluminium tris(dihydrogen phosphate). Grzybowski addressed that sodium triphosphate (also known as sodium tripolyphosphate) can be photodegraded to orthophosphate. However, as inorganic aluminium species are not transformed by photo-oxidising under normal environmental conditions, photodegradation is not a not significant abiotic degradation process for aluminium tris(dihydrogen phosphate) .
