Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
Annex IX column 2 - these studies do not need to be conducted if direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely.
SODIUM ETHYL XANTHATE at the concentrations 1000 mg/kg dry soil in the 4-week experiment did not cause mortality of the adult earthworms.
SODIUM ETHYL XANTHATE at the concentrations of 560 and 1000 mg/kg dry soil had an impact on reproduction of the earthworms.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Long-term EC10, LC10 or NOEC for soil macroorganisms:
- 320 mg/kg soil dw
Additional information
Sodium ethyl xanthate (CAS# 140-90-9) at the concentration fom 18 to 1000 mg/kg dry soil did not cause mortality of the adult earthworm after 4 weeks.No changesin the appearance (morphology) and behaviour of the earthworms were noticed.
After 8 weeks of the experiment, it was concluded that SODIUM ETHYL XANTHATE at the concentrations of 560 and 1000 mg/kg dry soil had an impact on reproduction of the earthworms.
The concentration of the test substans caused the following reduction in the number of juveniles produced within the exposure period:
(EC10)is equal to283.8 mg/kg dry soil.
(EC25)is equal to652.4 mg/kg dry soil.
(EC50)ishigher than 1000 mg/kg dry soil.
The lowest concentration at which the test item is observed to have a statistically significant effect on reproduction (LOEC) is equal to 560mg/kg dry soil.
The highest concentration at which the test item is observed to have no statistically significant effects on reproduction(NOEC)is equal to 320 mg/kg dry soil.
The concentration of the test item causing 50% mortality of the adult earthworms (LC50) is higher than 1000 mg/kg dry soil. (Anna Arendarczyk,Institute of Industrial Organic Chemistry Branch Pszczyna,
