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

Aquatic toxicity studies of neodecanoic acid, zirconium salt are not available. Read-across to the assessment entities zirconium substances and neodecanoic acid is applied since the ions of neodecanoic acid, zirconium salt determine its fate and toxicity in the environment. Zirconium is poorly soluble and precipitates under most environmental conditions whereas neodecanoate is rather mobile. The potential for acute toxicity of zirconium in the form of zirconium dioxide to aquatic invertebrates is thus low based on the 48h-EC50 above the OECD 202 test limit of 100 mg ZrO2/L for Daphnia magna. Regarding neodecanoate, based on a reliable OECD 202 equivalent study, the 48-h EL50 for D. magna is > 457 mg/L (measured) neodecanoic acid. Thus, neodecanoic acid, zirconium salt has a low potential for acute toxicity to aquatic invertebrates.
