Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No fish at any dose died. Fish showed behavioural changes after 2 hours exposure

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
In a Study performed to OECD Guideline 204, ferrocene has a NOEC 1.5 mg/L. The only effect was a decrease in weight in the higher dosage groups
