It is the [[sodium]] salt of the [[polyphosphate]] penta-anion, which is the [[conjugate (acid-base theory)|conjugate base]] of [[triphosphoric acid]]. It is produced on a large scale as a component of many domestic and industrial products, especially detergents. Environmental problems associated with [[eutrophication]] are attributed to its widespread use.<ref name=GE/>
