Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
No repeated dose toxicity data available in February 2014.
Waiving for 90 d inhalation study:
The substance is a solid at room temperature and no or very little dust (below the work place limit value for inhalable dust of 10 mg/m³ and for respiratory dust of 3 mg/m³ which applies for inert dust in some of the European countries) is formed for the intended uses. The work place limit values are routineously monitored in all relevant workplaces were a significant exposure to slag dust may occur.
Uptake of fine slag dust into the lungs does not significantly affect the levels of trace metals in the lung associated lymph nodes. The half live of slag dust in the lungs is approximately 60 d suggesting that slags are inert dust without hazardous effect on the respiration system.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
There is no evidence for a toxicologically significant potential to slags after repeated exposition.
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.
