Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: inhalation
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
4 (not assignable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Main features of study reported; non standard test, conducted on iron particles (read across from iron Oxide category). Iron(II)Oxide belongs to the iron oxides family and presents comparable physico chemical properties, leading to similar behaviour for the all members of the iron oxide substances. In particular, based on affinity of the chemical structure, Iron Oxide (Fe3O4) and Iron(III)Oxide (Fe2O3) are selected to support read across for the Iron(II)Oxide dossier. Full justification paper is provided in the current Summary Section.

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Inhalation of iron oxide fume (concentration 7 mg/m³ - mainly Fe2O3) 
did not produce any detectable effect

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:
Animals were exposed for 1 to 2 hours to iron oxide particles in an plethysmograph and lung functional parameters determined. As a result inhalation of iron oxide fume did not produce any detectable effects.
