- Details on results:
- For growth, first inhibitory effects compared to the control occurred at a concentration of 50,000 mg/kg dry sediment (p < 0.014; one-way ANOVA [df = 6; F = 3.535], posthoc Dunnett: p = 0.008). Thus, a NOEC of 25,000 mg/kg dry sediment could be calculated.
For reproduction, first inhibitory effects compared to the control occurred at a concentration of 6,250 mg/kg dry sediment (p < 0.001; one-way ANOVA [df = 6; F = 13.805], posthoc Games-Howell: p = 0.049). Thus, a NOEC of 3,125 mg/kg dry sediment could be calculated.
For growth a partial dose-response curve could be set up, however including effect > 50%. Based on the logistic function that significantly fitted the dose-response curve to the observed toxicity data, EC10 and EC50 values of 14,518 and 42.701 mg/kg dry sediment has been
determined. For reproduction a proper dose-response curve could be established, as effect. Based on the logistic function that significantly fitted the dose-response curve to the observed toxicity data, EC10 and EC50 values were calculated as 1,490 and 7979 mg/L, respectively.
For growth and reproduction, EC10 values were considerably lower than the NOECs. One reason might be the generally high data variance within some treatments leading to high MDDvalues (up to 31% and 45% for growth and reproduction, respectively). - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- NOECs for growth and reproduction were 25,000 and 3,125 mg/kg dry soil, respectively.
- Executive summary:
The toxicity of the zeolite Sylosiv via spiked water, sediment and soil was tested with the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, using the ISO guideline 10872. In spiked sediment, C. elegans’s growth was first affected at a concentration of 50,000 (NOEC 25,000 mg/kg dry sediment). First effects on reproduction occurred at 6,250 mg/kg dry sediment (NOEC: 3,125 mg/kg dry sediment).

- Details on results:
- For growth, first inhibitory effects compared to the control occurred at a concentration of 25,000 mg/kg dry sediment (p < 0.001; one-way ANOVA [df = 6; F = 6.901], posthoc Dunnett: p = 0.002). Thus, a NOEC of 12,500 mg/kg dry sediment could be calculated.
For reproduction, first inhibitory effects compared to the control occurred at a concentration of 3,125 mg/kg dry sediment (p < 0.001; one-way ANOVA [df = 6; F = 30.971], posthoc Dunnett: p = 0.008). Thus, a NOEC of 1,563 mg/kg dry sediment could be calculated.
For growth a partial dose-response curve could be set up (highest effect < 50%). Based on the logistic function that significantly fitted the dose-response curve to the observed toxicity data, an EC10 of 4,746 mg/kg dry sediment has been determined. For reproduction a proper dose-response curve could be established, as effects of > 50% inhibition were observed. Based on the logistic function that significantly fitted the dose-response curve to the observed toxicity data, EC10 and EC50 values were calculated as 1,370 and 6835 mg/L, respectively.
NOEC and EC10 values matched quite nicely for reproduction and %MDD could properly predict first significant effects of growth and reproduction. For growth, EC10 was considerably lower than the NOEC. However, as the dose-response curve is not complete, the EC10 value for growth should be regarded with caution. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- NOECs for growth and reproduction were 12,500 and 1,563 mg/kg dry soil, respectively.
- Executive summary:
The toxicity of the zeolite Zeocros (Zeo) via spiked water, sediment and soil was tested with the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, using the ISO guideline 10872. In spiked sediment, C. elegans’s growth was first affected at a concentration of 25,000 (NOEC 12,500 mg/kg dry sediment).

- Compared to the control (artificial sediment without test item), no inhibitory effect of NaY on growth could be observed up to the highest tested nominal concentration of 50,000 mg/kg dry sediment. Although one-way ANOVA showed a significant difference between the treatments
(p < 0.001; one-way ANOVA [df = 5, F = 7.644]), Games-Howell posthoc test showed no significant different of any treatment to the control (p > 0.05). Thus, for growth the NOEC was calculated as ≥ 50,000 mg/kg dry sediment.
For reproduction, first inhibitory effects compared to the control occurred at a concentration of 12,500 mg/kg dry sediment (p < 0.001; one-way ANOVA [df = 5; F = 7.498], posthoc Dunnett: p < 0.001). Thus, a NOEC of 6,250 mg/kg dry sediment could be calculated.
It fits to the calculated discriminatory power for growth and reproduction (%MDD) that (1) no significant effects on growth occurred at % inhibition values ≤ 5%, (2) significant effects on reproduction occurred at % inhibition values ≥ 14%.
No significant dose-response curve could be fitted to the toxicity data. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- NOECs for growth and reproduction were >= 50,000 and 6,250 mg/kg dry soil, respectively.
- Executive summary:
The toxicity of the Alumininosilicate (NaY Zeolite; NaY) via spiked water, sediment and soil was tested with the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, using the ISO guideline 10872. In spiked sediment, C. elegans’s growth was not affected till the highest concentration (NOEC ≥ 50,000 mg/kg dry sediment), while first effects on reproduction occurred at 12,500 mg/kg dry sediment (NOEC: 6,250 mg/kg dry sediment).

The toxicity of the zeolite Köstrolith (Kt) via spiked water, sediment and soil was tested with the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, using the ISO guideline 10872. In spiked sediment, C. elegans’s growth was not affected till the highest concentration (NOEC ≥ 50,000 mg/kg dry sediment), while first effects on reproduction occurred at 50,000 mg/kg dry sediment (NOEC: 25,000 mg/kg dry sediment).

Description of key information
Tests in sediment were conducted with the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The NOECs for growth and reproduction ranged between 12500 (type P Zeolite) to >= 50000 (type Y Zeolite, type X Zeolite) and 1563 (type P zeolite) to 25000 (type X zeolite) mg/kg dry sediment, respectively.
No marine water species were tested.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC10, LC10 or NOEC for freshwater sediment:
- 1 563 mg/kg sediment dw
Additional information
Also, a supporting study in two full life-cycles of the Dipteran midge, Paratanytarsus parthenogenica, exposed to concentrations of calcium-exchanged zeolite, indicated minimal effects on hatchability, survival, growth, and reproduction. The NOEC was between 100 and 200 mg/l (NOEC: >= 100 mg/l).
