New format available to report worker exposure and emissions of chromium trioxide
We have published a format for downstream users in the plating and surface treatment industry to report the results of their monitoring programmes to ECHA. The authorisation decisions require users to monitor worker exposure to chromium trioxide as well as emissions to wastewater and air from local exhaust ventilation.
The format is tailored for specific downstream users of chromium trioxide that operate under two authorisation decisions: C(2020)8797 (CTAC) and C(2020)8735 (REACHLaw Ltd).
The information will be submitted yearly and made available to the authorisation holders so they can validate their exposure scenarios and prepare possible review reports to apply for authorisation renewals. The first deadline is on 18 December 2021.

Database containing mammalian elimination half-lives now published
Elimination half-lives in mammals, including humans, have been proposed as a potential complementary metric to expand the assessment of bioaccumulative properties to cover air-breathing organisms. To explore the possibilities of using such data in bioaccumulation assessment and predictions, human and terrestrial mammalian elimination half-life data has been collected along with physiochemical data and parameters. The database will facilitate looking up toxicokinetic data and finding respective studies.
This first version of the mammalian toxicokinetic database contains elimination half-life values for around 1 400 substances collected from publications and publicly available studies.
The data was collected by Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) together with ECHA during 2016-2020.
