Additional information
For the calculation of the partition coefficients with EUSES a Log Pow of -1 was used as input parameter.
PNEC freshwater and marine water sediment
K_(susp-water) = 0.979
RHO_(susp) = 1150
Conversion factor (wwt -> dwt): 4.6
PNEC_freshwater sediment
= (K_(susp-water)/ RHO_(susp))*PNEC_water * 1000
= (0.979/1150)* 1.451*1000
= 1.235 mg/kg wwt
= 5.68 mg/kg dwt
The respective PNEC (freshwater sediment) for cesium nitrate is 5.68 mg/L (dwt) and for cesium 3.87 mg/L (dwt).
PNEC_marine water sediment
= (K_(susp-water)/ RHO_(susp))*PNEC_ marine water * 1000
= (0.979/1150)* 0.145*1000
= 0.123 mg/kg wwt
= 0.568 mg/kg dwt
The respective PNEC (marine water sediment) for cesium nitrate is 0.568 mg/L (dwt) and for cesium 0.387 mg/L (dwt).
PNEC soil
K_(soil-water) = 0.295
RHO_(susp) = 1700
Conversion factor (wwt -> dwt): 1.13
PNEC_soil
= (K_(soil-water)/ RHO_(soil))*PNEC_water * 1000
= (0.295/1700)* 1.451* 1000
= 0.251 mg/kg wwt
= 0.284 mg/kg dwt
The respective PNEC (soil) for cesium nitrate is 0.284 mg/L (dwt) and for cesium 0.19 mg/L (dwt).
Conclusion on classification
Based on the available data the test item has not to be classified according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
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.
