Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Freshwater:

From the database of chronic nickel toxicity to freshwater invertebrates, many individual EC10or NOEC values for different individual species were selected. Chronic data on invertebrates belonging to different taxonomic groups being cladoceran (79% of the data points), amphipods (0.9% of the data), insects (7% of the data), hydrozoans (0.9% of the data), rotifers (5% of the data) and a mollusc (7% of the data). The NOEC/L(E) C10 varied between 1.4 μg/L forLymnaea stagnalis(Schlekat et al., 2010) and 1,379µg/L forBrachionus calyciflorus(Schlekat et al., 2010). It is noted that the invertebrate data are heavily dominated by data on cladocerans.

The following table indicates those NOEC or EC10values of high quality that have been carried forward for the HC5-& PNEC derivation:

Marine:

From the database of chronic nickel toxicity to marine invertebrates, many NOEC/EC10/LOEC values are reported. EC10values range from 22.5 μg Ni/L for reproduction of the polychaete,Neanthes arenaceodentata(DeForest and Schlekat, 2013), to 431 μg Ni/L for development of the bivalve,Crassostrea gigas(DeForest and Schlekat, 2013). The table below represents the NOEC, LOEC, or EC10values of high quality carried forward for derivation of HC5and aquatic marine PNEC:
