Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Aquatic toxicity studies with magnesium diniobate are not available, thus aquatic toxicity will be addressed with existing data on the dissociation products, i.e. magnesium and niobium ions.

 

Magnesium: Magnesium as an essential element has a very low potential for toxicity to freshwater and saltwater fish and respective endpoints are above respective OECD test limits.

Niobium: displays a very low mobility under all but the most extreme environmental conditions due to the high stability and very low solubility of niobium oxides.

Magnesium diniobate: The solubility of magnesium diniobate (MgNb2O6) in environmental media is expected to be low since dissolution in water resulted in Mg concentrations < 25 microg/L and Nb concentrations < 0.2 microg/L after 34 days. Thus, in accordance with Column 2 of Annex VIII of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 "aquatic toxicity is unlikely to occur since the substance is highly insoluble in water".
