Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

The Sr- baseline levels that are presented below were used for the construction of an environmental concentration distribution for Europe. It was decided, however, to exclude the countries that do not belong to the EU-27+Norway. The overall median in Europe (50th percentile of the generated log-logistic distribution) of background Sr is 76.0 mg Sr/kg dry wt.
