Systemic long term effects, dermal: (FeSO4*7H20)1.4mg/kg/d Systemic long term effects, inhalative: (FeSO4*7H20)2.5 mg/m PNECs The PNECs given in this section were derived based on the concentration which would cause a 10% increase above typical natural background levels of iron in soil and sediment. Thus the respective PNEC is equal to 110% of the typical natural background level of iron. Water Iron is an essential trace element for fish, aquatic invertebrates and plants. A direct toxicity could not be demonstrated in tests. Therefore no PNEC was derived. Sewage treatment plants (STP) PNEC STP Fe: 500mg/l; FeSO4*7H2O:2483 mg/l Sediment PNEC Sediment (freshwater): Fe 49.5g/kg; Fe SO4*7H20:246g/kg dry weight PNEC Sediment (marine water):Fe 49.5g/kg;FeSO4*7H2O: 246g/kg dry weight Soil PNEC soil: Fe: 55.5 g/kg; FeSO4*7H20: 276g/kg dry weight Oral (food chain) Iron is an essential trace element for fish, aquatic invertebrates and plants. A direct toxicity could not be demonstrated in tests. Therefore no PNEC was derived. 8.2 Exposure controls Information regarding to exposure control can be found in the resoectice exposure scenarions in the annex of the SDS. 8.3 Personal Protection Always wear suitable gloves when handling the product.

11.1 Acute Toxicity LD50/LC50 values that are relevant for classification Data from the key studies for iron sulphates and iron chlorides: Oral LD50 132 – 881 mg Fe/kg (rat) (OECD 423) Dermal LD50 >400mg Fe/kg (rat) (OECD 402) Inhalative LC50 no relevant data available Data for ferrous sulphate heptahydrat: Oral LD50 657 – 4390 mg Fe/kg (rat) (derived) LD50 >2000mg Fe/kg (rat) (OECD 401) Dermal LD50 >1992mg Fe/kg (rat) (derived) Inhalative LC50 no relevant data available 11.2 Contact OECD 404: Irritant for the skin and mucous membranes 11.3 Inhalation None reported 11.4 Ingestion Small quantities unlikely to cause toxic effect. Large quantities may give rise to gastro-intestinal disorders. 11.5 Sensitisation OECD 429(LLNA – test) No sensitizing effects 11.6 Chronic or Long-term Effects None reported 12. Ecological Information 12.1 Ecotoxicity data Under standard test conditions, the ferrous ion, Fe2+, is unstable and is oxidised to the ferric, Fe3+, iron salts have a high rate of conversion to soluble ferric hydroxide, in consequence, Fe2+ is to great extent removed from the test system. Furthermore, iron plays and important role in biological process, with iton homeostasis being under strict control. In conclusion, iron is not considered to be toxic to the aquatic environment under normal conditions. 12.2 Mobility This Substance is immobile in soil Additional ecological information AOX-indication: <2mg/kg 12.3 Persistence/Degradability Not relevant for ironranic substances 12.4 Bio-accumulation Iron is bioessential trace elements for organisms and plays an important role in biological processes. The uptake of iron is strictly controlled by homeostatic process In conclusion, bioaccumulation poses no concern 12.5 Other Data Results of PBT and vPvB assessment The product is an inorganic substance and does not fulfill the criteria for PBZ and vPvB according to Annex XIII of REACH Date of Issue 25th November 2011
