Chemical: Sulfuric acid, monododecyl ester, ammonium salt

Sulfuric acid, monododecyl ester, ammonium salt (1:1) is listed on the EPA's Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) system. Manufacturers and importers of Sulfuric acid, monododecyl ester, ammonium salt (1:1) are required to report information about their production and use of this chemical to the EPA under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). (40 eCFR Part 711)

Dodecyl ammonium sulphate: Does not have an individual approval but may be used under an appropriate group standard

As the federal pesticide law FIFRA directs, EPA is conducting a comprehensive review of older pesticides to consider their health and environmental effects and make decisions about their future use. Under this pesticide reregistration program, EPA examines health and safety data for pesticide active ingredients initially registered before November 1, 1984, and determines whether they are eligible for reregistration. In addition, all pesticides must meet the new safety standard of the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. Pesticides for which EPA had not issued Registration Standards prior to the effective date of FIFRA, as amended in 1988, were divided into three lists based upon their potential for human exposure and other factors, with List B containing pesticides of greater concern and List D pesticides of less concern. Ammonium lauryl sulfate is found on List D. Case No: 4061; Pesticide type: insecticide, fungicide, rodenticide, antimicrobial; Case Status: RED Approved 09//93; OPP has made a decision that some/all uses of the pesticide are eligible for reregistration, as reflected in a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) document.; Active ingredient (AI): Ammonium lauryl sulfate; AI Status: The active ingredient is no longer contained in any registered pesticide products ... "cancelled."

Acidic inorganic salts, such as AMMONIUM LAURYL SULFATE, are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydrogen ions and have pH's of less than 7.0. They react as acids to neutralize bases. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of inorganic acids, inorganic oxoacids, and carboxylic acid.

Acute Tox. 4 (71.8%)；Skin Irrit. 2 (27.9%)；Eye Dam. 1 (17.7%)；Eye Irrit. 2 (82%)

Eye damage - category 1；Skin irritation - category 2；Specific target organ toxicity (single exposure) - category 3；Acute toxicity (dermal) - category 4；Acute toxicity (ingestion) - category 4

SRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate appear to be safe in formulations designed for discontinuous, brief use followed by thorough rinsing from the surface of the skin. In products intended for prolonged contact with skin, concentrations should not exceed 1%.

Safe for use in cosmetics, with qualifications

While ammonium lauryl sulfate itself is not toxic, it is a nitrosating agent. Nitrosating agents may decompose and/or react to cause nitrosamine contamination. Nitrosamines are produced from secondary amines and amides in the presence of nitrite ions and are believed to be carcinogenic. Once in the body, nitrosamines are activated by cytochrome P-450 enzymes. They are then believed to induce their carcinogenic effects by forming DNA adducts at the N- and O-atoms.
