Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Two studies data are available for the terrestrial bioaccumulation of strontium by terrestrial plants indicating that strontium has a low potential to bioaccumulate in plants.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Bioaccumulation in terrestrial plants
The soil-plant bioaccumulation factors were measured for stable strontium, 85Sr and 90Sr. Heine and Wiechen (1984) reported in their field study bioaccumulation factors in the range of 0.04 to 0.14 for stable Sr in pasture plants at different locations whereas BAF values of Sr90 in pasture plants ranges from 0.17 to 0.94 and in vegetables and grain from 0.07 to 1.48. The BAF values of Twinning et al. (2004) are based on 85Sr accumulation by different plant species in spiked tropical red earth and range from 0.44 in Sorghum to 63 in mung bean leafs. In sum, strontium bioaccumulation in terrestrial plants appears to be low.
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.
