Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH

1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The target substance Zinc peroxide and the source substances Zinc oxide, Zinc Chloride, Zinc sulfate, Zinc nitrate are ionic and consist of the Zinc2+ cation and the respective anion.
The read-across is based on the assumption that the zinc cation (as measure for dissolved zinc species) is the determining factor for (eco)toxicity.

Effect conc.:
>= 14 - <= 400 µg/L

Conc. based on:
other: Zn2+
Basis for effect:
other: reproduction, mortality, development
Remarks on result:
other: duration: 4 d to 35 d depending on test type
Dose descriptor:
NOEC
Remarks:
marine
Effect conc.:
>= 5.6 - <= 900 µg/L
Nominal / measured:
meas. (not specified)
Conc. based on:
other: Zn2+
Basis for effect:
other: growth, development, mortality
Remarks on result:
other: duration: 4 d to 35 d depending on test type
Conclusions:
The NOEC of Zn2+ ranged from 14 to 400 µg/L in freshwater invertebrates and from 5.6 to 900 µg/L in marine invertebrates.

Description of key information

freshwater:
Data on 13 species available. Species NOECs range between 0.014 and 0.400 mg Zn/l (dissolved concentrations)
Marine:
Data on 26 species available. Species NOECs range between 0.0056 and 0.9 mg Zn/l (dissolved concentrations)
Species NOECs have been put into their respective species sensitivity distributions.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Extensive high quality chronic data were available on 13 different freshwater invertebrate species and 26 marine invertebrate species. These data were all screened for relevancy to the environment under study.

The freshwater species are part of several different taxonomic groups: poriferans (4 species), molluscs (2 species), crustaceans (4 species), rotifers (2 species) and insects (1 species). The sensitivity of these species is equally distributed over the species sensitivity distribution.

The marine species are part of several different taxonomic groups: annelids (4 species), cniderians (1 species), crustaceans (6 species), echinoderms (5 species), molluscs (9 species) and nematods (1 species) .The sensitivity of these species is equally distributed over the species sensitivity distribution.

The invertebrate species NOECs are combined with the other freshwater and marine chronic data in the SSD to give the HC5 from which the respective PNECs are derived.

The available data on hydrogen peroxide show, that Zn2+ is the determining factor for ecotoxicity.
