Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Each PNEC was deduced from the study with the most sensitive species available for each compartment/endpoint.

Derivation of PNECs for LiCl

 

For LiCl the PNECs derived for lithium were corrected as follows:

 

PNEC (LiCl) = PNEC (Li) x (M(LiCl) / (M(Li))

 

The molecular weight for LiCl is 42.395 g/mol.

The atomic weight for Li is ca. 6.94 g/mol, and should be multiplied where > 1 Li molecule is present.

 

PNEC (LiCl) = PNEC (Li) x (42.395 / [1*6.94])

The updated PNECs for sediment and soil have not yet been integrated in the risk assessment calculation. An update of the CSR is planned for November 2020.

Conclusion on classification

Classification for Lithium chloride


Based on the available data, lithium chloride has not to be classified according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) criteria as the acute (LC50/ ErC50) and chronic toxicity (ECx/ NOEC) values are > 1 mg/L.


 


Overview of results used for Classification and Labelling:


Based on read-across


Fish, short-term, freshwater: LC50 = 158 mg/L


Fish, long-term, freshwater: NOEC = 18 mg/L (read-across from lithium hydroxide monohydrate)


Daphnia magna, short-term, freshwater: EC50 = 249 mg/L


Daphnia magna, long-term, freshwater: NOEC = 10 mg/L (read-across from lithium)


Algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata), long-term, freshwater: ErC50 = 155 mg/L, NOEC = 10 mg/L (read across from lithium hydroxide)


Activated sludge: EC50 = 320.1 mg/L, EC10 = 140.2 mg/L (read-across from lithium hydroxide)
