Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Several studies, collectively, provide a weight-of-evidence to support the acute and long-term toxicity to soil macro-organisms are reported in teh EU RAR.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Once released into soil, it is likely that much of the chromium (VI) present will be reduced to chromium (III). Toxicity data are available for chromium (VI) in soil, but it is also likely that in these experiments the majority of the chromium present will be converted to chromium (III) during the test. Chromium (III) has generally been shown to be less toxic than chromium (VI) to soil organisms. For Cr(VI) LC50 and EC50 values were 146 and 792 mg Cr(VI)/kg dry soil. An NOEC value of 32 mg Cr(III)/kg dry soil was observed.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
