Description of key information
Additional information
For assessing the terrestrial hazard of CdSSe, reference has been made to ecotoxicity data obtained by standard testing on CdTe, a sparingly soluble Cd-compound. Transformation dissolution data demonstrate that the solubility of Cd in CdSSe is even much lower than the solubility of Cd from CdTe (>100 times lower solubility of Cd in CdSSe, as compared to solubility in CdTe). The ecotoxicity of CdTe was therefore used as a worst case for the ecotoxicity of CdSSe.
For terrestrial ecotoxicology, 6 ecotoxicity studies were performed with Eisenia fetida, Folsomia candida, Lepidium sativum, Phaseolus vulgaris, Secale cereale and soil microbial activity as test species and CdTe as substance. The lowest NOEC was observed for Folsomia candida.
| species | NOEC (g Cd Te/kg DW) | reference |
| Eisenia fetida | 2.1 | Vito (2012f) |
| Folsomia candida | 0.01 | Notox (2012b) |
| Lepidium sativum | 2.1 | Vito (2012g) |
| Phaseolus vulgaris | 2.1 | Vito (2012g) |
| Secale cereale | 2.1 | Vito (2012h) |
| Soil microbial activity | 2.1 | CEMS (2012) |
A basic assumption made in this hazard assessment and throughout this CSR, (in accordance to the same assumption made in the EU RA process) is that the ecotoxicity of CdSSe is due to the Cd++ion. As a consequence, terrestrial PNEC in this report are expressed as “cadmium”, not as CdSSe as such, because ionic cadmium is considered to be the causative factor for toxicity.
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.
