Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
According to the European Union Risk Assessment Report (France 2007), no valid test on the toxicity of chloroform to terrestrial organisms is available. A PNEC for the soil compartment can be derived from the aquatic PNEC by using the equilibrium partitioning method: PNECsoil(ww) = (Ksoil-water/RHOsoil) * PNECaquatic * 1000. Using a value of 5.77 m3/m3 for the soil-water partitioning coefficient (Ksoil-water), a PNECsoil(ww) of 496 microgram/kg (ww) and a PNECsoil(dw) of 560 microgram/kg (dw) are obtained (France 2007).
Because of the low bioaccumulation potential of chloroform, the potential for secondary poisoning can be considered to be negligible (France 2007). Thus, the terrestrial compartment is unlikely to be of concern with regard to exposure to chloroform.
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.
