Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH

1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The target substance Zinc peroxide and the source substances Zinc oxide, Zinc Chloride, Zinc sulfate, Zinc nitrate are ionic and consist of the Zinc2+ cation and the respective anion.
The read-across is based on the assumption that the zinc cation (as measure for dissolved zinc species) is the determining factor for (eco)toxicity.

Description of key information

 37 NOEC or EC10 values on soil macroorganisms are available covering  6 different worm species and vary from 35.7 mg Zn/kg for  Enchytraeus albidus  to 1634 mg Zn/kg dw for Lumbricus terrestris

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

37 NOEC or EC10 values cover 6 different worm species and vary from 35.7 mg Zn/kg for Enchytraeus albidus (Lock and Janssen, 2001c) to 1634 mg Zn/kg dw for Lumbricus terrestris (Spurgeon et al., 2000).

All toxicity data are expressed as added Zn concentration in soil, based on either the nominal dose added or on measured, background corrected soil Zn concentrations.
