Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on distribution in tissues:
CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
Antimony: In males and females the Sb concentrations in liver and kidney were below the detection limit at doses up to 1000 ppm. In the high dose groups the Sb levels slightly increased with exposure duration and reached max. 27 ppb in the liver (3 mo) of males (range 15-40 ppb) and 17 ppb in females (kidney 14 ppb in males and 15 ppb in females).
Chromium: No measurable effect on chromium content of liver and kidney at any dose level and exposure duration.
