Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
The worst case EbC50 and NOEC values obtained from a 72 hours algal inhibtion test with Iron(+2)sulphate heptahydrate were 11 mg fe/L and 3.2 mg/L (as substance) respectively
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 11 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 3.2 mg/L
Additional information
The results of a single algal inhibition assay with Iron(+2)sulphate heptahydrate are presented the worst case EbC50 and NOEC values obtained from a 72 hours algal inhibtion test with Iron(+2)sulphate heptahydrate were 11 mg Fe/L and 3.2 mg/L (as substance) respectively.
Data for nitrate toxicity to algae is not available however, based on the fish and Daphnia results presented in points 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3 and 6.1.4 it is clear that the iron ion is the more potent ingredient of iron trinitrate and therefore no concern should arise for nitrate. In addition nitrate stimulates plant and algal growth in fact test medium (AAP) recommended within OECD 201 test guideline contains a concentration of 25.5 mg NaNO3/L which is above the Fe endpoints reported above.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
