species based on NOEC and EC10 data ranged from 120 mg/kg added Ni. The SQGs that aim to protect 80% of species based on NOEC and EC10 data ranged from 10170mg/kg added Ni. These comparisons indicate that the SQGs derived in this project are slightly more conservative than the EU values, but overall the values are similar.
