Data bank of environmental properties of chemicals


Chemical
Nickel
CAS-number :
7440-02-0
 
Synonyms :
Nikkeli
 
Sumformula of the chemical :
Ni
EINECS-number :
2311114
 
Molecular weight :
58.71
 
LDLo values to mammals in oral exposure, mg/kg :
orl-gpg,Lewis & Sweet 1984
 
Effects on plants :
Soybean seeds (Glycine max) were planted in acid-washed sand. 
Beginning 5 days after seed germination the sand was saturated
with metal solutions: Ni at 1 ppm caused reductions in stem and
foliage dry weights (leaves and stems contained 0.00140 mg Ni/g
(Vesper & Weidensaul 1978).

Two cultivars of cotton (Gossypium spp.) were grown in solution
culture. 
NiSO4 was phytotoxic at 0.00001 M
(Rehab & Wallace 1978d).
