Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
No reliable studies were retrieved in the plant compartment. Only data from plant toxicity experiments in soil are directly useful for derivation of a PNECsoil. However, also toxicity data for plants grown in nutrient solution can be used in a weight-of-evidence approach because the toxicity thresholds for mercury in the nutrient solutions can be translated to soil concentrations in an equilibrium partitioning approach, by taking into account the Kd value for soils. None of the studies on mercury toxicity to plants grown in contaminated soils was judged reliable (Klimisch 3).

Additional information
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.
