Description of key information
freshwater: 22 studies on 8 invertebrate species were selected in the EU RA to derive the PNEC freshwater. NOECs range between 0.16 and 11 µg/l Cd in dissolved concentrations.
marine waters: Data on 40 invertebrate species are available. Species NOECs range between 0.3 µg Cd/L (Isognomon californicum, Isognomonidae, Molluscs) up to 25000 µg Cd/L (Pellioditis marina, Rhabditidae, Nematods). Concentrations are expressed as dissolved ones.

Additional information
Freshwater: 22 studies on 8 invertebrate species (Crustaceans, Insect and Gastropods) were selected in the EU RA to derive the PNEC freshwater. NOECs range between 0.16 and 11 µg/l Cd in dissolved concentrations.
Marine: Relevant and reliable marine chronic toxicity data on invertebrates were found in 6 taxonomic groups including Annelids (4 families), Cnidarians (2 families), Crustaceans (8 families), Echinoderms (7 families), Molluscs (9 families) and Nematods (2 families). The invertebrate dataset covers a large range of NOEC values going from 0.3 µg/L up to 25000 µg/L. Data on the 6 invertebrate taxonomic groups are combined together with the other marine chronic data in the species sensitivity distribution to give the HC5 from which the PNEC is derived.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
