Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
A reliable GLP-conform study (Klimisch 1) according to the OECD 201 guideline is available for the effect of the water-accommodated fraction of bismuth subnitrate (Bi5O(OH)9(NO3)4) after seven days equilibration on the biomass and growth rate of the alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (Egeler and Kiefer, 2010). No statistically significant differences were found for the parameters growth rate and biomass yield between the control and the test item concentrations up to the water-accommodated fraction at a loading rate of 100 mg Bi/L and the EC50 (72 h) was determined to be higher than the highest tested concentration. The results of the study demonstrate that the no-observed effect concentration (NOEC) at p ≤ 0.05 for Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata for the parameters yield and growth rate is also ≥ the water-accommodated fraction at a loading rate of 100 mg Bi/L (nominal concentration), corresponding to ≥ a measured dissolved Bi concentration of 0.046 mg Bi/L.
No data are available for the toxicity of bismuth to marine algae.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
