- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Test substance was added to fresh pine litter substrate. pH and conductivity was measured during 6 months. At regular times the enchytraeids are counted both in the controls and in the test samples. Toxicity was estimated by calcuting the regression equation between reproduction number and pH or conductivity.

The values of EC50 and EC92 are calculated using the regression given in the method. The enchytraeid population was >95% Cognetia sphagnetorum.
Description of key information
180d LE50 = 850 and EC92 = 3000 mg/l for the enchytraeid population in fresh pine substrate.
The ECOSAR QSAR model predicts that 14-day, LC50 (14-day, earthworm) would to be 887.517 mg/L (ppm).
1 kg of water has a volume of 1 L and the mg/kg and mg/L are the same.
LC50 (14-day, earthworm)= 887.517 mg/kg soil dw
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Short-term EC50 or LC50 for soil macroorganisms:
- 850 mg/kg soil dw
- Long-term EC10, LC10 or NOEC for soil macroorganisms:
- 170 mg/kg soil dw
