Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Most sensitive long-term toxicity data for 3 different freshwater fish species are summarized in the WHO CICAD document (2006). According to these data, the effect concentrations for cobalt hydrogencitrate were calculated:
Brachydanio rerio: no effect concentration (16d, survival) = 0.19 mg Tricobalt dicitrate/L
Pimephales promelas: NOEC (7d, survival) = 6.25 mg Tricobalt dicitrate/L
Oncorhynchus mykiss: NOEC (14d, growth) = 0.31 mg Tricobalt dicitrate/L

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Data on chronic single-species toxicity tests resulting in high quality NOEC/L(E)C10 values (expressed as Co) for freshwater fish (n= 21) are summarised in Table 2 of the WHO CICAD document, 2006 (see attached document).

Chronic data for 3 different fish species were extracted and used in the effects assessment. The NOEC/L(E)C10 values for fish range from 60 μg Co/L for Brachydanio rerio (data shown in the study record in detail) to 2000 μg Co/L for Pimephales promelas(Diamond et al., 1992), resulting in recalculated values from 0.19 to 6.25 mg Tricobalt dicitrate/L. The most sensitive

data for Brachydanio rerio are shown in detail in the key study record of chap 6.1.2, further results for other freshwater fish are attached here.
