Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data

Endpoint:
fish, juvenile growth test
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
The presented data have been retrieved from US EPA's ECOTOX Database, Version 4 (2012). This database provides single chemical toxicity information for aquatic and terrestrial life. The concomitant information within the database (such as indentification of guidelines and methods used) is reduced to the necessary minimum and usually not reported. Nevertheless, the toxicity data deposited has been derived from peer-reviewed literature and can therefore be regarded as valid information.

Duration:
26 d
Dose descriptor:
NOEC
Effect conc.:
0.2 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
element
Remarks:
Lithium
Basis for effect:
growth rate
Remarks:
(length)
Remarks on result:
other: equivalent to 1.12 mg/L Li3PO4
Details on results:
Conversion:
0.2 mg/L : 6.94 u (atomic weight of Li) = 0.029 mmol/L
0.029 mmol/L : 3 = 0.0097
0.0097 x 115.82 (molecular weight of Li3PO4) = 1.12 mg/L
