Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
It is summarized that LD50 of chroniumnitrate nonahydrate by oral gavage application is 3250 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

The work of this group pre-dates range finding toxicity guidelines and provided much of the basis for their development. Their results are cited by many subsequent authoritative review bodies and are often found in SIDS and SIAR documents via secondary references. Therefore, these results (LD50 (oral, rat) = 3250 mg/kg bw) are deemed reliable.
