Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Iron, manganese, and aluminium are present in considerable levels in all environmental media. The following Table summarizes the levels considered as background concentrations to be compared with the respective PNEC according to ECHA (2008). In case the background is found significant compared to the PNEC and the Added Risk Approach will be to be applied, while in case PNECs are in the order of the background the Total Risk Approach will be used. Whenever no PNEC can be derived the background levels will be compared with PECadd (increase of the total concentration caused by the uses of the submission item). Insignificant PECadd compared to the background concentrations, i.e. < 1% increase, will be evaluated as not hazardous to the environment.
