Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Only one reliable (Klimisch 2) result is available for the effect of Na2SeO4 to reproduction of the terrestrial arthropod Folsomia candida, reporting a NOEC of 2.35 mg Se/kg soil (calculated as EC20/2, based on added Se concentration; Checkai et al., 2004). No results were available for the effect of selenite on terrestrial arthropods. Because of the significant difference in toxicity between selenite and selenate in the terrestrial ecosystem, data for selenate are not used for the hazard assessment of tetravalent inorganic Se substances, such as selenite.
Supporting information is available on the toxicity of various Se compounds to bees (Apis mellifera). The effects of organic ((methyl-)selenocysteine) and inorganic (selenite and selenate) selenium compounds in the diet (sucrose) on larval and forager stages were studied. EC50 values ranged from 0.72 to 161 mg Se/L. Organic selenium compounds were less toxic (> factor 3) then inorganic compounds, but differences selenite and selenate were limited. The most sensitive endpoint was found for the larval survival of Apis mellifera exposed to selenate (EC50 = 0.72 mg Se/L).
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.
