Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
toxicity to terrestrial plants: long-term
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Information from a peer reviewed Assessment Report. Chromium(III) hydroxide is insoluble between pH 6.8 and 11 (see section 4.8). Under conditions < pH 6.8 hydrolysis takes place and at > pH11.5 hydroxocomplexes are formed. The main toxic principle of these solutions < pH6.8 and > pH11.5 is dissolved Cr(III). Therefore Chromium(III) acetate is used as supporting substance.

Details on results:
Concentrations were estimated by the evaluators (RIVM 1997).
Concentration corresponds to the added concentration, therefore concentrations are regarded as nominal concentrations.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
The 5 month NOEC for grain species was 200 - 631 mg Chromium(III)/kg dw soil depending on soil characteristics.
Executive summary:

Grain Species were exposed to Chromium(III)acetate in 5 different soils for 5 months. The NOEC for growth was 631 mg Chromium(III)/kg dw soil (marine loam), 200 mg Chromium(III)/kg dw soil (marine loam), 200 mg Chromium(III)/kg dw soil (loam), 400 mg Chromium(III)/kg dw soil (sand), and 200 mg Chromium(III)/kg dw soil (sand), respectively. Concentrations were estimated nominal concentrations.
