14 day study (Lumbricus terrestris - mature earthworms) NOEC: 1000 mg I kg-1 soil (sandy soil)

- 1 000 mg/kg soil dw
Additional information
The reviewed study investigated the toxicity of inorganic iodine (applied as KI) to terrestrial biota, which included investigating the effects on earthworms. This use of KI as the test substance, is considered relevant for read across to iodine as iodide is the major existent species of iodine in soil which is available for interactions with soil components. The protocol is not based on standard guidelines (e.g. OECD Guidelines) but follows scientific principles and is well documented, supporting a Klimisch score of 2 - reliable with restrictions. The study author concluded that there were no significant trends related to I treatments among the data. Under the protocol followed in this study, the NOEC was 1000 mg I kg -1 for the test substance (I) in all three soil types. Refer to the attached endpoint study record for further details.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
