Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Literature data exists on the bioaccumulation of soluble salts of light rare earth elements. Data on praseodymium nitrate can be used to provide an estimate of the bioaccumulation potential of praseodymium oxide.
The study shows that some bioaccumulation of light rare earth elements can occur but that elimination processes reduce the bioaccumulation factors over a period of time.
The highest BCF value observed during the study for praseodymium was 750 in internal organs after 29 days and this reduced to 530 by the end of the study at 43 days.
The REACH criteria for PBT and vPvB as stated in Annex XIII give cut-off BCF values of 2000 and 5000 respectively and it is therefore considered reasonable to assume that praseodymium oxide should not be considered to meet either of these criteria on the basis of the available data on an analogous substance. It is not considered necessary to undertake further bioaccumulation testing.
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.
