Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Documentation insufficient for assessment: there is no information on the ratio between polychromatic and normochromatic erythtocytes, in the publication the results of several chloroaromatic compounds are reported and report of the individual chemical is insufficient of assessment
