Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
No studies on environmental data for lead bis(tetrafluoroborate) exists. Since lead salts are very well examined and one study for tetrafluoroborate salts exists, which results in an EC50of 106mg/L, it was decided to read across from a soluble lead salt and a tetrafluoroborate salt in the forefront of the lead bis(tetrafluoroborate) dossier preparation.
Lead bis(tetrafluoroborate) is a soluble metal salt (> 500 g/L at 20°C; for more detailed information please refer to section 4.8 of this dossier). Read across is performed to the lead dichloride dossier (water solubility 10g/L at 20°C) and triethylmethylammonium tetrafluoroborate (> 2000 g/L at 20°C). It is note here that the submitter of this dossier gain access to the lead dichloride dossier.
As stated above the EC50value for the acute toxicity testing of triethylmethylammonium tetrafluoroborate in daphnia magna is 106 mg/L.
For invertebrates, 43 individual reliable acute toxicity data points for two different species performed with various lead salts were put forward for hazard assessment purposes. The acute toxicity values (48h-LC50) for Ceriodaphnia dubia varied between of 26.4 µg dissolved Pb/L (at pH 8.1 and hardness of 25 mg/L) and 3115.8 µg dissolved Pb/L (at pH 8.15 and hardness of 103.2 mg/L).The acute toxicity values (48h-LC50) for Daphnia magna varied between of 107.0 µg dissolved Pb/L (at pH 8.3 and hardness of 152 mg/L) and 108.8 µg dissolved Pb/L (at pH 7.6 and hardness of 54 mg/L).
By using the lowest value of all these data, it can be concluded that for lead bis(tetrafluoroborate) the EC50for aquatic invertebrates value is ca. 48µg/L (worst case consideration).
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.
