Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The NOEC, EC10 and EC50 values determined in this study were all ≥27.4 mg Pd kg-1 dw, for all endpoints (emergence rate, development time and rate, and sensitivity of the sexes).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Available ecotoxicity data for palladium substances indicates that palladium substances with a chloro ligand are more toxic than those without a chloro ligand. For palladium a single, worst case PNEC value has been derived for each environmental compartment, to cover all palladium substances. The PNEC has been derived based on the most toxic palladium substance, diamminedichloropalladium. Therefore, although toxicity results for diamminedicloropalladium are likely to overestimate the toxicity of palladium substances that do not contain a chloro ligand, this data is included in the dossiers for all palladium substance as it was taken into account in PNEC derivation. A study was conducted with the sediment-dwelling organism Chironomus riparius, in a sediment-water system with spiked sediment, for the test substance diamminedichloropalladium (Simon 2013). The study followed OECD guideline 218 and eight spiked sediment concentrations were used. The highest test concentration (nominal 30 mg Pd kg-1dw) was the highest possible test concentration for a real spiked sediment test design. Analysis of sediment concentrations was conducted at test start and test end and results are based on mean measured concentrations. The NOEC, EC10 and EC50 values determined in this study were all ≥27.4 mg Pd kg-1dw, for all endpoints (emergence rate, development time and rate, and sensitivity of the sexes).
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.
