These reports were developed under Council Regulation (EEC) 793/93 to evaluate the risks of existing substances to human health and the environment. Substance : Nickel (Metallic) EU Number : 231-111-4 CAS Number : 7440-02-0
: In regions like Denmark, ~95% of metallic nickel in waste (mainly stainless steel scrap) is recovered. 231111 rar
: While nickel metal is classified as environmentally hazardous (Aquatic Chronic 3), its low solubility compared to nickel salts makes environmental risk assessment less critical for the metal form specifically. 1. Substance Identification Chemical Name : Nickel Molecular Weight : 58.7 g/mol Physical State : Solid (gray metal) Common Use Cases : Production of stainless steel and alloys Nickel plating and salts manufacturing Industrial catalysts and battery components 2. Human Health Hazards These reports were developed under Council Regulation (EEC)
