Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

freshwater: 22 studies on 8 invertebrate species were selected in the EU RA to derive the PNEC freshwater. NOECs range between 0.16 and 11 µg/l Cd in dissolved  concentrations.
marine waters: Data on 40 invertebrate species are available. Species NOECs range between 0.3 µg Cd/L (Isognomon californicum, Isognomonidae, Molluscs) up to 25000 µg Cd/L (Pellioditis marina, Rhabditidae, Nematods). Concentrations are expressed as dissolved ones.

Additional information

Freshwater: 22 studies on 8 invertebrate species (Crustaceans, Insect and Gastropods) were selected in the EU RA to derive the PNEC freshwater. NOECs range between 0.16 and 11 µg/l Cd in dissolved concentrations.

Marine: Relevant and reliable marine chronic toxicity data on invertebrates were found in 6 taxonomic groups including Annelids (4 families), Cnidarians (2 families), Crustaceans (8 families), Echinoderms (7 families), Molluscs (9 families) and Nematods (2 families). The invertebrate dataset covers a large range of NOEC values going from 0.3 µg/L up to 25000 µg/L. Data on the 6 invertebrate taxonomic groups are combined together with the other marine chronic data in the species sensitivity distribution to give the HC5 from which the PNEC is derived.
