Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH

1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The target substance Zinc peroxide and the source substances Zinc oxide, Zinc Chloride, Zinc sulfate, Zinc nitrate are ionic and consist of the Zinc2+ cation and the respective anion.
The read-across is based on the assumption that the zinc cation (as measure for dissolved zinc species) is the determining factor for (eco)toxicity.

Effect conc.:
>= 0.068 - <= 2.909 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
meas. (not specified)
Conc. based on:
other: Zn2+
Basis for effect:
mortality
Conclusions:
The 48 EC50 of Zn2+ ranged from 68 µg/L to 2.909 mg/L.

Description of key information

Key data (lowest EC50 values) are: 
-for Ceriodaphnia dubia: 0.413 mg Zn/l (single value) at low pH and low hardness
-for Ceriodaphnia dubia: >0.53 mg Zn/l (single value) at low pH and high hardness
-for Ceriodaphnia dubia: 0.147 mg Zn/l (geomean value) at neutral/high pH and low hardness
-for Ceriodaphnia dubia: 0.228 mg Zn/l (geomean value) at neutral/high pH and high hardness

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Many good quality and relevant data for 5 standard species. Tests were done according to standard protocol or equivalent.

Data are grouped per species according to

-pH: low (6 -<7) - neutral/high (7 -8.5)

-and hardness: low/medium (<100mg CaCO3/l) and medium/high (>100 mg CaCO3/l).

Ceriodaphnia dubia is for all test conditions the most sensitive species.

The available data on hydrogen peroxide show, that Zn2+ is the determining factor for ecotoxicity.
