Description of key information
NOEC (56 d): ≥4.38 mg/kg soil dw (nominal, Eisenia fetida, OECD 222)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Long-term EC10, LC10 or NOEC for soil macroorganisms:
- 4.38 mg/kg soil dw
Additional information
The effects of the substance on soil organisms were investigated in an acute 14-day toxicity test on earthworms (Eisenia fetida) according to OECD 207 (M-266322-01-1) and in a long term toxicity test according to OECD 222 (M-277573-01-1). Both studies referred to herein were conducted in accordance with the prevailing OECD testing guidelines under GLP conditions.
The chronic toxicity study was conducted under laboratory conditions using artificial soil as substrate. Earthworms of the species Eisenia fetida were exposed for 56 days to nominal test substance concentrations of 0.273, 0.548, 1.09, 2.19 and 4.38 mg test item/kg soil dw. No effects on mortality, growth, reproduction and feeding activity of the test organisms was observed
The no-observed-effect-concentration (NOEC) was ≥4.38 mg test item/kg soil dry, i.e. the highest concentration tested.
The 14-day LC50 was >1000 mg test item/kg dw as no mortality occurred at this concentration. The NOEC for weight was determined to be 316 mg test item/kg dry weight soil. No morphological and behavioural effects were observed.
