Administrative data

Endpoint:
short-term toxicity to fish
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Information from a peer reviewed Assessment Report. Chromium(III) hydroxide is insoluble between pH 6.8 and 11 (see section 4.8). Under conditions < pH 6.8 hydrolysis takes place and at > pH11.5 hydroxocomplexes are formed. The main toxic principle of these solutions < pH6.8 and > pH11.5 is dissolved Cr(III). Therefore Chromium(III) nitrate is used as supporting substance.
