- Details on preparation and application of test substrate:
- - Method of mixing into soil: For each test vessel, 552 g of the prepared substrate (air dry, corresponding to 546 g dry weight) was thoroughly mixed with 10 g sand/test item mixture (see Section 2.4.3), 2.8 g calcium carbonate, and 189 mL purified water in a laboratory mixer. By addition of 189 mL purified water to the test substrate of each test vessel, the moisture content was brought to approx. 35 %.
- Controls:
A control was tested in parallel. The control substrate was prepared analogous to the test substrates. A 50 g sand portion was treated with 10 mL acetone (but without test item) identical to the application of the test item in the treatment groups.

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED
Mortality and Symptoms of Toxicity
After 7 and 14 days of exposure, the content of each single test vessel was emptied onto a plate. The surviving worms were counted and inspected for abnormal behavior or other symptoms of toxicity (worms not moving after gentle mechanical stimulus to their front end are considered to be dead). After the 7-day assessment, the soil of each test vessel was refilled into the test vessel and the worms were replaced into the same test substrate.
Body Weight
The mean body wet weights of the test organisms were determined at the start and at the end of the test. For this purpose, the surviving worms of each test vessel were weighed all together and the weight was divided by the number of surviving worms. Before weighing, the worms were quickly washed with water and surplus water was adsorbed on filter paper. For each test vessel, the difference of the mean body wet weight of the surviving test organisms behween the start and the end of the test was calculated.
Soil Moisture
Prior to the start of the test, the artificial soil moisture was adjusted to approximately 35 % (based on dry weight). After addition of the worms, the vessels were covered with glass lids to reduce evaporation. At the end of the test, the soil moisture was checked at all test concentrations and the control. Aliquots from the substrates of the four replicates per test concentration and control were mixed. The soil moisture in the mixed samples (of approximately 40 g wet weight) was calculated from the determination of the dry weight of the samples.
pH and Temperature
At the start of the test, pH was measured in the untreated artificial soil. At the end of the test, the pH of the soil was checked again for all test concentrations and the control. Aliquots from the substrates of the four replicates per test concentration and control were mixed. The pH was determined in these mixed samples: an aliquot of about 10 g was shaken with 25 mL KCl solution (1 M) for 30 minutes and the pH was measured in this suspension by a pH-electrode. The test temperature (room temperature) was continuously monitored by a temperature recorder.
VEHICLE CONTROL PERFORMED: yes

Additional information
Acute toxicity of the test item to the earthworm Eisenia fetida was determined in a 14-day test according to OECD guideline 207. The EC50 was estimated to be higher than 1000 mg test item/kg soil dw.
