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

Lithium benzoate showed slight inhibitory effects at 1000 mg/l (< 10% inhibition). This is a lower level of toxicity that would be predicted by considering the benzoate and lithium ions and helps confirm that the combination of these ions is not more hazardous than predictions based on litium and benzoate. It is considered that potassium salts will be considerably less hazardous than lithium and potassium is used as a culture 'nutrient' in these studies.
