UmweltverhaltenTERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 20(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that triethyl citrate is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of triethyl citrate from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 3.8X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure, 6.87X10-4 mm Hg(3), and water solubility, 6.5X10+4 mg/L(5). Triethyl citrate is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(4). Biodegradation data in soil were not available(SRC, 2015). Based on data for acetyl tributyl citrate, a structural analog, triethyl citrate may be expected to biodegrade rapidly(SRC). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test acetyl tributyl citrate, present at 100 mg/L, reached 82% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L(5) suggesting that biodegradation of triethyl citrate may be an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 20(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that triethyl citrate is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 3.8X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) derived from its vapor pressure, 6.87X10-4 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 6.5X10+4 mg/L(5). According to a classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from an estimated log Kow of 0.33(2) and a regression-derived equation(2), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Biodegradation data in water were not available(SRC, 2015). Based on data for acetyl tributyl citrate, a structural analog, triethyl citrate may be expected to biodegrade rapidly(SRC). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test acetyl tributyl citrate, present at 100 mg/L, reached 82% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L(7) suggesting that biodegradation of triethyl citrate may be an important environmental fate process in water(SRC).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), triethyl citrate, which has a vapor pressure of 6.87X10-4 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase triethyl citrate is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC)the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 4 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 7.3X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Triethyl citrate does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

ToxizitätsübersichtSafe in the present practices of use and concentration. Ingredient, concentration, and use information are available in documents discoverable at https://cir-reports.cir-safety.orgIDENTIFICATION AND USE: Triethyl citrate is a colorless, oily liquid with bitter taste. It is used as solvent and plasticizer for nitrocellulose and natural resins, softener, paint removers, agglutinant, perfume base, food additive (not over 0.25%) as an emulsifier and as a flavor-preserving agent. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Triethyl citrate 20% in petrolatum was not a primary irritant or sensitizer in human studies. ANIMAL STUDIES: Triethyl citrate, applied undiluted during epidermal induction, was a strong sensitizer in a guinea pig maximization test. Triethyl citrate 33.3% produced irritation in rabbit eyes. Intravenous administration of a 100 mg/kg bw dose of triethyl citrate to rabbits produced a marked increase in motor activity and respiration. A group of 20 mice given intraperitoneal doses of 350 mg/kg bw of triethyl citrate daily for 14 days had a slightly lower mean growth rate than control animals. No differences were seen in the two groups in erythrocyte and leucocyte blood cell count, clotting time and hemoglobin levels. Examination of the liver, lung and kidney tissues of two animals at necropsy revealed no pathological cellular changes. At doses ranging from 0.5 to 10 mg/kg b.w. triethyl citrate was nonteratogenic in the chicken embryo. Ames test using triethyl citrate (0.4%-1.6%) on Salmonella typhimurium TA1535, TA1537, TA1538 was negative with and without metabolic activation.

Ongoing Test StatusEPA has released the first beta version (version 0.5) of the Interactive Chemical Safety for Sustainability (iCSS) Dashboard. The beta version of the iCSS Dashboard provides an interactive tool to explore rapid, automated (or in vitro high-throughput) chemical screening data generated by the Toxicity Forecaster (ToxCast) project and the federal Toxicity Testing in the 21st century (Tox21) collaboration. /The title compound was tested by ToxCast and/or Tox21 assaysClick on the "Chemical Explorer" button on the tool bar to see the data./[USEPAICSS Dashboard ApplicationAvailable from, as of April 22, 2015: http://actor.epa.gov/dashboard/]
Effluent ConcentrationsTriethyl citrate was identified in the column inflow at the beginning of an experiment on May 29, 2001 below the reporting limit of 0.500 ug/L but reported as 0.200 ug/L and at the end of the experiment Jun 20, 2001 concentrations were reported as below the reporting limit of 0.500 ug/L. The concentration in the column drainage at the end of the experiment Jun 20, 2001 was also below the reporting limit of 0.500 ug/L(1). Treated effluent was applied to the top of a 2.4 meter soil column over 23 days. The soil was packed with a Mohall-Laveen sandy loam from an area northwest of Phoenix, AZ with no known history of cultivation or irrigation. Secondarily treated effluent from a 17.5 million gallon/day municipal waste water treatment plant serving 120,000-150,000 residents near Phoenix, AZ was employed(1). Triethyl citrate was identified in effluent samples that receive domestic waste waters of 50,000 inhabitants of Southern Finland(2). Triethyl citrate was detected (reporting limit 0.5 ug/L) at a median concentration of 0.270 ug/L and a maximum of 0.52 ug/L with a detection frequence of 100% in water samples from 10 waste water treatment plants located around the country (Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, South Dakota)(3). Triethyl citrate was detected (reporting limit 0.5 ug/L) at a median concentration of 0.105 ug/L and a maximum of 0.400 ug/L with a detection frequence of 100% in water samples downstream (96 to 14,484 meters)and at a median concentration of 0.082 ug/L and a maximum of 0.26 ug/L with a detection frequency of 70% in water samples downstream (805 to 96,561 meters) from 10 waste water treatment plants located around the country (Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, South Dakota)(3).
Soil Adsorption/MobilityUsing a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of triethyl citrate can be estimated to be 20(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that triethyl citrate is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
Human Toxicity Excerpts/HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ Triethyl citrate 20% in pet (petrolatum) was not a primary irritant or sensitizer in human studies./OTHER TOXICITY INFORMATION/ Due to its sensitizing potential ... triethyl citrate /is not considered/ to be a suitable substitute for phthalates as plasticizers in children's toys.
Artificial Pollution SourcesTriethyl citrate's production and use in cosmetics and personal care products(1,4), as a specialty solvent, plasticizer(2) and food additive(2,3) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).
Environmental BiodegradationAEROBIC: Biodegradation data in soil and water were not available for triethyl citrate(SRC, 2015). Based on data for acetyl tributyl citrate (CAS 77-90-7), a structural analog, triethyl citrate is expected to biodegrade rapidly(SRC). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test acetyl tributyl citrate, present at 100 mg/L, reached 82% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L(1).
