Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion on classification

Classification

Cerium ammonium nitrate is not considered to be biodegradable due to its inorganic nature. Furthermore, the substance is not considered to be bioaccumulative. Short-term toxicity tests performed with fish and daphnids showed that the substance is very toxic to fish (96-h LC50 = 0.53 mg (NH4)2Ce(NO3)6/L) and not toxic to daphnids (48-h EC50 > 100 mg (NH4)2Ce(NO3)6/L). The result for algae (72-h ErC50 = 93 mg (NH4)2Ce(NO3)6/L) is not taken into account because the observed effect on growth is considered to be a secondary effect (phosphate deprivation). Taking into consideration the acute test results for fish and daphnids and in accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, the test material is classified as follows:

Aquatic acute 1 (H400) - M-factor 1

Aquatic chronic 1 (H410) - M-factor 1
