Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The insolubility of trichromium dicarbide and the ubiquitous presence of chromium in the environment make its ecotoxicity very unlikely and also the testing of the environmental degradation and ecotoxicity mainly scientifically unjustified.  The lack of endpoint data from trichromium dicarbide does not allow the derivation of PNECs.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The insolubility of trichromium dicarbide and the ubiquitous presence of chromium in the environment make its ecotoxicity very unlikely and also the testing of the environmental degradation and ecotoxicity mainly scientifically unjustified. The lack of endpoint data from trichromium does not allow the derivation of PNECs.

For information and for comparison, the PNECs for trivalent chromium have been determined in the ICDA (2010) environmental report. The report includes detailed description of the rationale behind the derivation PNECs.
