Description:
It has been proposed that nitrilotriacetic acid be substituted for trisodium polyphosphates in detergents as a way to reduce the rate of eutrophication in the Great Lake Basin. The reaction of nitrilotriacetic acid with chlorine-containing solutions produces a hitherto unknown degradation production, N-formyliminodiacetic acid, in high yield. The toxicological and environmental implications of this reaction are unclear.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Spanggord, R J -- Tyson, C A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1979 Jun 8;204(4397):1081-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/36659" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
