Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- 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.
