- test mat.
- Remarks:
- F-
- Basis for effect:
- other: NO3-mineralisation
- Remarks on result:

- Duration:
- 63 d
- Dose descriptor:
- NOEC
- Effect conc.:

- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Remarks:
- F-
- Basis for effect:
- other: P-mineralisation
- Remarks on result:
- other: potassium fluoride
- Details on results:
- The NOEC values detailed in the report range from 106 to 3000 mg F-/kg dw. The 63 day experiments were carried out in a micro-ecosystem containing poplar litter (30% o.m) and the isopod Porcellio scaber Latr. Nitrification was found to be the most sensitive in the micro-ecosystem test.
- Executive summary:
The EU RAR reports NOEC values from 106 to 3000 mg F-/kg. The 63 day experiments were carried out in a micro-ecosystem containing poplar litter (30% o.m) and the isopod Porcellio scaber. Nitrification was found to be the most sensitive endpoint investigated in the micro-ecosystem test.
For conservative reasons the lowest NOEC, i.e., 106 mg F-/Kg dw will be used for the risk assessment.
Applying the conversion factor from F- to hexafluorosilicic acid, the NOEC corresponds to 133.6 mg hexafluorosilicic acid/kg.
