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

In a 48-h acute toxicity study, water fleas (Daphnia magna) were exposed to Sodium ferrocyanide under static conditions. The 48h-EC50 was >100 mg/L based on analytically confirmed nominal exposure concentrations. The study is considered to be reliable without restrictions.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In a 48-h acute toxicity study conducted according to OECD guideline 202, water fleas (Daphnia magna) were exposed to Sodium ferrocyanide under static conditions at the following nominal concentrations: 0 (blank-control), 0.10, 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/L. The test substance did not induce significant acute immobilisation of Daphnia magna at 100 mg/L after 48 hours of exposure. The 48h-EC50 was >100 mg/L based on analytically confirmed nominal exposure concentrations. The study is considered to be reliable without restrictions.

In addition, a supporting publication with potassium ferrocyanide was available, however no analytical support was available, and the test method was insufficiently described.
