Read-Across Strategy

Reading-across data from one substance to another, where scientifically appropriate and documented, is a concept that is encouraged in the REACH legislation.

Many different factors must be taken into account when assessing the scientific rationale for reading-across from one substance to another,

The REACH registration technical dossiers that the Molybdenum Consortium is preparing use both substance-specific data and read-across.

Broadly speaking, physico-chemical endpoints are substance-specific, and read-across is used for many, but not all, environmental and mammalian toxicology end-points. 

The MoCon 'read-across substance' is sodium molybdate.  Speciation work has been conducted to demonstrate that it is scientifically appropriate to read-across from this substance to the other substances in the MoCon portfolio.

For MoCon substances, environmentally and physiologically the significant species is the MoO42- ion.   All Mocon substances transform into the MoO42- ion and enter an organism as such. For this reason, the focus for the MoCon research is the molybate ion.
