ChEBI: An organic sodium salt composed of sodium and nitrilotriacetate ions in a 3:1 ratio.


DryPowder; Liquid; OtherSolid|WHITE CRYSTALLINE POWDER.


Sodium nitrilotriacetate is an organic sodium salt composed of sodium and nitrilotriacetate ions in a 3:1 ratio. It has a role as a carcinogenic agent and a nephrotoxic agent. It contains a nitrilotriacetate(3-).|A derivative of acetic acid, N(CH2COOH)3. It is a complexing (sequestering) agent that forms stable complexes with Zn2+.

SRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational harm/injury/toxicity or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.

SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses by industrial workers is inconsistent. The benefits or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.

Toxicity

The development of renal tumors was examined in rats given 1000 ppm N-ethyl-N-hydroxyethylnitrosamine (NEELA) and then 30,000, 10,000 or 3,000 ppm of trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate (Na3 X NTA X H20) in their food. The incidences of renal tumors in rats treated with N-ethyl-N-hydroxyethylnitrosamine for 2 wk and then 30,000, 10,000 and 3,000 ppm trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate for 30 wk were 100, 86 and 22%, respectively, while they were 16 and 0% in rats treated with N-ethyl-N-hydroxyethylnitrosamine or 30,000 ppm trisodium nitrilotracetate monohydrate at 30,000 or 10,000, but not 3,000 ppm, also incr the size and number of renal tumors in rats treated with N-ethyl-N-hydroxyethylnitrosamine and trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate 30,000 ppm, but not 10,000 or 3,000 ppm also induced hydronephrosis in rats irrespective of whether they were treated with N-ethyl-N-hydroxyethylnitrosamine. Thus, trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate has a dose-related effect on the kidney. /Trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate/|ORAL ADMIN OF TRISODIUM NITRILOTRIACETATE (0.01, 0.10, OR 1% WT/VOL IN DRINKING WATER) DID NOT ENHANCE THE PATHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF LEAD ON THE RAT RENAL SYSTEM; HOWEVER, RATS GIVEN 0.01 OR 0.10% WITH OR WITHOUT LEAD WERE HYPERGLYCEMIC.|The effects of the renal tumor promoters; beta-cyclodextrin, DL-serine, basic lead acetate, trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate & potassium bromate, & diethylene glycol as a negative control, on early stage of renal carcinogenesis were investigated in unilaterally nephrectomized male Wistar rats after N-ethyl-N-hydroxyethylnitrosamine admin. Wistar male rats were fed 1000 ppm N-ethyl-N-hydroxyethylnitrosamine diet for 2 wk & the left kidney was removed at week 3, then the animals were divided into 7 groups of 15 rats each. These groups received the following treatments: 1000 ppm lead acetate, 10000 ppm trisodium nitrilotriacetatemonohydrate or 500 ppm potassium bromate diet for 18 wk from wk 3; 45 mg/100 g bw/day of beta-cyclodextrin injected sc for 7 days; 100 mg/100 g bw of DL-Serine injected sc biweekly for 6 weeks; 5% diethylene glycol in drinking water as a negative control for two days. Five rats in each group were killed at wk 8, 12 & 20 & their kidneys were examined histologically. At wk 20, the avg numbers of adenomatous hyperplasias seen as preneoplastic lesions in the beta-C, DL-Serine, lead acetate, trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate or potassium bromate groups were significantly higher than those in the diethylene glycol or control groups. Thus within a relatively short period of 20 wk, promoting effects of chemicals can be detected as a significant incr of adenomatous hyperplasias in this model. /Trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate/|The dose-dependent effect of trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate as a promoter in two stage carcinogenesis in the urinary bladder of male Wistar rats was investigated. Carcinogenesis was initiated by administration of 0.05% N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine in the drinking water for 4 weeks, then trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate was given at 1%, 0.5% and 0.3% in the diet for 28 weeks, and rats were killed in week 32. The incidences and numbers of preneoplastic lesions (papillary or nodular hyperplasia, PN hyperplasia) in rats treated with 0.3% to 1% trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate increased progressively with increasing concentration of trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate. The incidences of papillomas in rats treated with 1% and 0.5% trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate in the diet and the incidence of transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder in the rats treated with 1% trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate (P< 0.05) were significantly higher than those in rats treated with N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine only. Administration of various doses of trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate without N-butyl-N-(-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine did not cause any histological changes (papillary or nodular hyperplasia, papilloma or transitional cell carcinoma) in the urinary bladder. These findings showed that trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate is a potent promoter of urinary bladder carcinogenesis initiated by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine in rats, and that its effect is dose-dependent. /Trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate/|For more Interactions (Complete) data for TRISODIUM NITRILOTRIACETATE (9 total), please visit the HSDB record page.

/OTHER TERRESTRIAL SPECIES/ Studies on 4 succeeding generations of the snail Helisoma trivolvis indicated that nominal concentrations up to 100 mg/L were not acutely toxic. Concentrations above 25 mg/L imposed a stress on growth and fecundity of snails.

According to the 2006 TSCA Inventory Update Reporting data, the number of persons reasonably likely to be exposed in the industrial manufacturing, processing, and use of trisodium nitrilotriacetate is 100 to 999; the data may be greatly underestimated(1).

Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.


Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.


First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

/SRP:/ Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Poisons A and B/|/SRP:/ Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway (oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal airway, if needed). Suction if necessary.
