Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Reported resuls are useful for deriving the partition coefficient for Marine waters.
Executive summary:

Paper reported experimental data on Humber and reviewed also other waters. The geomean Kd of reported values for cadmium is 492 l/kg.
