Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The average of all relevant values for the particulate suspended matter compartment has been put forward as the typical Kd for suspended particulate material. The largest amount of high quality was identified in the FOREGS-database; the typical Kd-sediment of 1,778 L/kg that was derived from this dataset is considered as a reliable value for this compartment.

The derived value of 2,793 L/kg (log Kd of 3.45) for suspended particulate matter is about a factor of 1.6 higher than the Kd that was found for the sediment compartment. This finding is in line with the observations for other metals where the Kd for suspended particulate matter was also somewhat higher compared to the Kd for sediment.

For the terrestrial compartment, it was decided to put forward the typical value of 871 L/kg (Log Kd: 2.94) as reported by Crommentuyn et al (1997). This value has been used by the Dutch authorities (RIVM) for setting environmental quality criteria.
