Toxicity to soil macroorganisms except arthropods
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- toxicity to soil macroorganisms except arthropods: long-term
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Non-GLP, non guideline, available as unpublished report, acceptable with restrictions
- Justification for type of information:
- Read-across between the target substance Oct-2-ene (EC 203-894-2 / CAS 111-67-1) and source substance 1-Tetradecene (EC 214-306-9/ CAS 1120-36-1) is based upon the similarity of the chemical structures and their respective physico-chemical properties. The ECHA Read-Across Assessment Framework (RAAF) states that substances with qualitatively similar properties can form the basis of read-across in circumstances where the source and target substances share such similar characteristics.
Target substance Oct-2-ene and source substance 1-Tetradecene are each mono-constituent linear olefins. Structurally, the differences between source and target substances include: 1) the length of the carbon chain (eight for the target substance, and fourteen for the source substance); and 2) the location of the carbon-carbon double bond (uniformly at the C2 position for the target substance, but uniformly at the C1 terminal position for the source substance).
The target and source substances both fit within the boundaries of chemical category of higher olefins. Studies conducted by the HOPA consortium on a large range of higher olefin category members (including 1-Tetradecene) demonstrated sufficiently similar physico-chemical, environmental fate and toxicological properties to substantiate the basis for read-across; although category members of a carbon chain length C10 or greater may exhibit a reduced acute aquatic toxicity attributable to reduced water solubility, the environmental toxicity of all category member is expected to be manifested as non-polar narcosis. In addition, both 1-Tetradecene and Oct-2-ene are expected to exhibit sufficient adsorption to soil and sediment to exhibit similar long-term toxicity; therefore, read-across with respect to sediment and terrestrial toxicity endpoints is appropriate. Justification for inclusion of Oct-2-ene within the boundaries of the higher olefins category, and the relevance of each category member as an analogue substance to Oct-2-ene, is provided in Section 13 (Document name: “HOPA Higher Olefins CJD with Category Matrix Report [rev 1 Sept 2016]”; Document name: "ACC Product Stewardship Summary for Higher Olefins Category (2008-12-03)”).
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The acute and chronic toxicity of the test substance to earthworms was tested in a laboratory bioassay. Natural soil exposed in the field to the test substance was sampled over time. The bulk sample was analysed for physico chemical parameters and the concentration of the test substance. Earthworms were exposed to the soil samples and either their 14 day survival or 70 day effects on growth and reproducion recorded.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Remarks:
- no data reported
- Specific details on test material used for the study:

- Details on sampling:
- A natural silty loam soil was dosed with drill cuttings containing the test substance in September 2001. Soil samples were taken after 2.5, 7, 8 and 10.5 months. 15 soil samples from 0-15cm depth were taken on each occassion, spread evenly across the test and control plots. The samples were bulked and homogenised.
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on preparation and application of test substrate:
- Soil samples collected in the field determined the test concentrations. The bulk soil samples had measured corrected concentrations of 31428, 25195, 8145 and 10026ug/g dry weight over time. Only the concentration of 10026ug/g was tested for chronic effects on earthworms

- Conclusions:
- At the test concentration no effects on mortality were observed but reproduction was completely inhibited.
- Executive summary:
At the test concentration no effects on mortality were observed but reproduction was completely inhibited. Although this test does not follow standard guidelines it is well described and includes analytical monitoring of the exposure concentrations. No effects on mortality were observed at the test concentration, however reproduction was completely inhibited. The NOEC reproduction cannot be calculated from this test, and this should be borne in mind whilst deriving the soil PNEC.

Description of key information
The key study was a 70-d toxicity test on the effects of an analog substance on the earthworm Eisenia fetida following a non-guideline test (Visser, 2003). The study reported values of a 70-d NOEC = 10,026 ug/g d.w. (measured) based on mortality, an EC50 = 10,026 ug/g d.w. (measured) based on growth, and an EC100 = 10,026 ug/g d.w. (measured) based on reproduction. The 70-d NOEC = 10,026 ug/g d.w. (measured) based on mortality was identified as the key value. An additional assessment factor was applied to the 70-d NOEC in the calculation of the candidate PNECsoil (based on a terrestrial study) to account for the observed effects on growth and reproduction at the lowest test concentration in the study (i.e., the unbounded NOEC for mortality).
