Description of key information
In a 56 day study adult earth worms of the species Eisenia fetida were exposed to Octadecanoic acid, sulfo-, potassium salt at nominal concentrations of 0 mg (control), 62.5 mg, 125 mg, 250 mg, 500 mg and 1000 mg/kg dry weight in accordance with the OECD 222 guideline. The mortality and the body weight change of the adult worms was observed and recorded on day 28. The reproduction, mean number of juveniles per test vessel 56 days after application was observed. The most sensitive endpoint was the reproduction by count of juvenile worms. For this endpoint an EC10 = 478 mg/kg (dry weight) was established.
