- Details on preparation and application of test substrate:
- Since the purity of the test substance is 86.3%, an amount of 2920.02 mg of the test substances was dissolved into 10mL acetone to give the solvent stock solution. The solvent stock solution was inverted several times to ensure adequate mixing and homogeneity.
An aliquot solvent solution was separately added to a certain amount of silica sand and the solvent was allowed to evaporate prior to the incorporation into formulated artificial soil with deionized reverse osmosis water. The treatment groups were prepared with a nominal moisture content of 40-60% by mass of the total water-holding capacity with the deionized water. The test medium preparation process of the blank control group was same as the other groups, but without the solvent and the test substance. The test medium preparation process of the solvent control group was same as the other groups, but without the test substance. The mixer was used to blend all the components. - Test organisms (species):

The pH of the artificial soil was adjusted to 6.0 ± 0.5. Before the start of the test, measured maximum water holding capacity (WHC) of artificial soil was 62%. Moisture content of the test substrate was adjusted to 40-60% by mass of the total water-holding capacity with the deionized water (moisture content was measured to be 26.16-29.70%).
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Light intensity: 597 - 632 lux
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED
Mortalities were recorded at 7 and 14 days after the start of test. The total gross weights of the earthworms added to each vessel in the controls and the treatment were recorded on Day 0 before addition. The surviving earthworms in each vessel were weighed on Day 14. The temperature and the light intensity in the climate chamber were recorded daily throughout the test. At the beginning and the end of the test, soil moisture content and pH value of one test container were recorded in the blank control group, solvent control group and treatment group randomly.

- Details on results:
- - Mortality at end of exposure period:
In the solvent control one of the 40 earthworms died before day 7, the mortality was 2.5 %. In the control and the treatment no mortalities were observed. Thus, the test fullfills the validity criterion that the control mortality should not exceed 10%.
- Total mass of adults at beginning of test: 4963 mg

- Morphological abnormalities: no
- Behavioural abnormalities: no
- Other biological observations: no - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The reference substance was tested at five concentrations of 3.75, 7.50, 15, 30 and 60 mg/kg dry artificial soil weight. The mortalities in chloroacetamide treatment groups were shown to be between 0% to 100%. The 14-days LC50 for chloroacetamide was 15.4 mg/kg dry soil weight. Tests from this reference substance conducted in the laboratory showed that the range of LC50 was between 12.1 mg/kg to 27.1 mg/kg, so the 15.4 mg/kg is an acceptable value.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The acute toxicity of the test substance to Eisenia fetida was determined in a 14 days artificial soil test according to OECD 207. The 7-Day LC50 and the 14-Day LC50 based on the nominal test concentrations were both higher than 1000 mg/kg dry soil weight.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test substance to Eisenia fetida was determined in a 14 days artificial soil test according to "Ministry of environmental protection of the people's Republic of China, The Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals - Effects on Biotic Systems, 2013, 207 Earthworm, Acute Toxicity Test" and "OECD, Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, 1984, 207 Earthworm, Acute Toxicity Test”. Based on the results of range-finding test, a treatment group, a solvent control group and a blank control group which had four replicates of 10 worms per replicate were included in the limit test. Consideration of the purity of the test substance is 86.3%, the treatment group was prepared based on the active components. The nominal concentration of active component in the treatment group was 1000 mg/kg dry artificial soil weight. The number of mortalities were determined after 7 and 14 days exposure. The mortality of the earthworms in the blank control group was 0%, in the solvent control group was 2.5%, which were not more than 10 percent. So the test was valid. Under the tested conditions, the 7-Day LC50 and the 14-Day LC50 for the test substance to earthworms (Eisenia fetida) based on the nominal test concentrations were both higher than 1000 mg/kg dry soil weight.

Description of key information
The acute toxicity of the test substance to Eisenia fetida was determined in a 14 days artificial soil test according to OECD 207. The 7-Day LC50 and the 14-Day LC50 based on the nominal test concentrations were both higher than 1000 mg/kg dry soil weight.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Short-term EC50 or LC50 for soil macroorganisms:
- 1 000 mg/kg soil dw
Additional information
The acute toxicity of the test substance to Eisenia fetida was determined in a 14 days artificial soil test according to "Ministry of environmental protection of the people's Republic of China, The Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals - Effects on Biotic Systems, 2013, 207 Earthworm, Acute Toxicity Test" and "OECD, Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, 1984, 207 Earthworm, Acute Toxicity Test” (reference 6.3.1 -1). Based on the results of range-finding test, a treatment group, a solvent control group and a blank control group which had four replicates of 10 worms per replicate were included in the limit test. Consideration of the purity of the test substance is 86.3%, the treatment group was prepared based on the active components. The nominal concentration of active component in the treatment group was 1000mg/kg dry artificial soil weight. The number of mortalities were determined after 7 and 14 days exposure. The mortality of the earthworms in the blank control group was 0%, in the solvent control group was 2.5%, which were not more than 10 percent. So the test was valid. Under the tested conditions, the 7-Day LC50 and the 14-Day LC50 for the test substance to earthworms (Eisenia fetida) based on the nominal test concentrations were both higher than 1000 mg/kg dry soil weight.
