High serum phosphate concentration has been identified as a predictor of cardiovascular events and mortality. Whilst phosphate is present in the body and food in organic forms, inorganic forms of phosphate such as sodium triphosphate are readily adsorbed and can result in elevated phosphate levels in serum.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Ritz |first1=Eberhard |last2=Hahn |first2=Kai |last3=Ketteler |first3=Markus |last4=Kuhlmann |first4=Martin K |last5=Mann |first5=Johannes |title=Phosphate Additives in Food—a Health Risk |journal=Deutsches Ärzteblatt International |date=2012 |volume=109 |issue=4 |pages=49–55 |doi=10.3238/arztebl.2012.0049 |pmid=22334826 |pmc=3278747 }}</ref> Salts of polyphosphate anions are moderately irritating to skin and mucous membranes because they are mildly alkaline.<ref name="Danish EPA 615 2001" />
Polyphosphates are hydrolyzed into simpler phosphates, which in moderate amounts are nutritious. For example, ], a related derivative of triphosphate, is essential for life. Thus, the toxicity of polyphosphates is low, as the lowest LD50 after oral administration is >1,000&nbsp;mg/kg body weight.<ref name="Danish EPA 615 2001">, , , Accessed 2008-07-15</ref> {{Clarify|date=May 2010}} Similarly, no mutagenic or carcinogenic effects nor reproductive effects have been noted.<ref name="Danish EPA 615 2001" /> Salts of polyphosphate anions are moderately irritating to skin and mucous membrane because they are mildly alkaline.<ref name="Danish EPA 615 2001" />

In 2000, the worldwide consumption of STPP was estimated to be approximately 2,000,000 tonnes.<ref name=Ullmann/> Because it is very ], it is not significantly transferred to sewage sludge, and therefore to soil by sludge spreading. No environmental risk related to STPP use in detergents is indicated in soil or air. As an ingredient of household cleaning products, STPP present in domestic waste waters is mainly discharged to the aquatic compartment, directly, via waste water treatment plants, via septic tanks, infiltration or other autonomous waste water systems.


] of the ], caused from phosphate run-off, is evident from the bright green bloom of ].]]
As STPP is an inorganic substance, ] studies are not applicable. However, STPP can be hydrolysed, finally to ], which can be assimilated by ] and/or by micro-organisms. STPP thus ends up being assimilated into the natural ]. Reliable published studies confirm ] understanding, showing that STPP is progressively hydrolysed by biochemical activity in contact with waste waters (in sewerage pipes and within sewage works) and also in the natural ]. This information enabled the calculation of “worst case” PEC (Predicted Environmental Concentrations) using the ] model and the ] detergent scenario. A default regional release of 10 % was applied instead of the 7 % regional release indicated in the HERA detergent scenario. Reliable acute aquatic ] studies are available which show that STPP is not toxic to aquatic organisms: all EC/LC50 are above 100&nbsp;mg/l ('']'', fish, algae). Because of this, and because of the only temporary presence of STPP in the aquatic environment (due to hydrolysis), no studies have been carried out to date concerning the chronic effects of STPP on these aquatic organisms. ]s (PNECs) were therefore calculated for the aquatic environment and sediments on the basis of the acute aquatic ecotoxicity results.

===Effects of wastewater containing phosphorus===
* ], a cyclic triphosphate
Detergents containing phosphorus contribute together with other sources of phosphorus to the ] of many fresh waters.<ref name="Danish EPA 615 2001" /> Eutrophication is an increase in chemical nutrients—typically compounds containing nitrogen or phosphorus—in an ecosystem. It may occur on land or in water. The term is however often used to mean the resultant increase in the ecosystem's primary productivity (excessive plant growth and decay), and further effects including lack of oxygen and severe reductions in water quality, fish, and other animal populations.


* ]
Phosphorus can theoretically generate its weight 500 times in algae (Wetzel 1983). Whereas the primary production in marine waters is mainly nitrogen limited, freshwaters are considered to be phosphorus limited. A large part of the sewage effluents in many countries is released untreated into freshwater recipients, and here the use of phosphorus as complexing agents is still an environmental concern.<ref name="Danish EPA 615 2001" />
