Remarks:
Data from reliable database, but information not required by REACH (The scope of the terrestrial effect assessment under the adopted REACH regulation is restricted to soil organisms in a narrow sense, i.e. on non-vertebrate organisms living the majority of their lifetime within the soil and being exposed to substances via the soil pathway and in line with the previous practice in the environmental risk assessment of new and existing substances in the EU.)
