Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 297-648-1 | CAS number: 93685-99-5 Oil shale waste is produced by thermal processing in a fluidized bed process at 800°C from mining exhausted oil shale. Oil shale waste consists essentially of Al2O3, CaO, CaSO4, Fe2O3 and SiO2.

Description of key information
No effect was measured up to a concentration of 1000 mg test item/kg dry sediment. The 28 day NOEC for the emergence rate and development rate was determined to be 1000 mg test item/kg dry sediment, with an associated LOEC of > 1000 mg test item/kg dry sediment.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The long term impact of the test item Oil shale, thermal processing waste on the sediment dwelling larvae of the midge Chironomus riparius was evaluated in a in a Sediment-Water System - exposed via spiked sediment according to OECD 218 and GLP. For this purpose, first instar larvae of Chironomus riparius were exposed for 28 days to assess the impact on full maturation of the larvae to adult midges. The larvae were exposed in a sediment-water system containing the test item at various concentrations under defined conditions. Therefore, the sediment was spiked with the test item to simulate the presence of Oil shale, thermal processing waste in the sediment.
The used method of application is recommended by the test guidelines, and also Chironomus riparius is a preferred freshwater aquatic insect species recommended by the test guidelines of the OECD.The influence of Oil shale, thermal processing waste on the survival and development of Chironomus riparius was determined during an exposure period of 28 days. The 28 day NOEC for the emergence rate was determined to be 1000 mg test item/kg dry sediment, with an associated LOEC of > 1000 mg test item/kg dry sediment. The NOEC for the development rate was determined to be 1000 mg test item/kg dry sediment, with an associated LOEC of > 1000 mg test item/kg dry sediment. The EC50 for the emergence rate was calculated to be > 1000 mg test item/kg dry sediment and > 1000 mg test item/kg dry sediment for development rate.
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.
