ENVIRONMENTAL FATE PROPERTIES
Summary of degradation
Mn(NO3)2is inorganic and hence the ready biodegradation and hydrolysis tests are not relevant. This is because there is no carbon to be evolved and no chemical bonds to be broken, respectively. The water solubility of Mn(NO3)2 is 84 -89% w/w at 20°C. Not surprisingly this limit value is considerably higher than the background concentration of manganese in European environments (15.9 µg Mn/L in surface water, 452 mg/kg in sediment, 428.6 mg/kg in soil; “Probabilistic Distribution of Manganese in European Surface Water, Sediment and Soil and Derivation of Predicted Environmental Concentrations (PEC)”, Parametrix, 2009 and supported by GEMAS data).
Volatilisation
Data on volatilisation are not available for the substance. Mn(NO3)2 is a metal salt and hence not volatile.
Distribution modelling
No distribution modelling data exist.
Summary of environmental distribution
An adsorption / desorption study on Manganese (2+) has been conducted in 35 soils following the OECD sorption guideline. Data for 100 day incubations show that, as expected, the sorption is pH sensitive. A median Kd value of 1355 ml/g has been determined for all soils (pH range 3.0-8.5).
Summary and discussion of bioaccumulation
A study by Szefer, P. and Falandysz, J. (1987) on trace metals in the soft tissues of scaup ducks provides evidence of no bioaccumulation. Furthermore, the risk assessment performed during the chemical safety assessment concludes that the substance is of no immediate concern to the environment. Manganese is also an essential trace nutrient in animals and is required for the photosynthetic process in plants. Hence unacceptable bioaccumulation is highly unlikely to occur in any organism due to their ability to regulate intake and loss from natural sources.
Secondary poisoning
Bioaccumulation of Mn(NO3)2 is not expected to occur. Hence no secondary poisoning risk existsAssessment of PBT/vPvB Properties - Comparison with the Criteria of Annex XIII
According to the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.11: PBT assessment, “the PBT and vPVB criteria of Annex XIII to the regulation do not apply to inorganic substances”. Therefore Mn2+is not considered to require any further assessment of PBT propertiesInformation on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
