The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex IX and X, the  toxicity testing on terrestrial arthropods does not need to be conducted as direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely.  The reaction product and its constituent substances show a low  bioaccumulative (low  log Kow ) potential. Hence, a relevant distribution into soil and a considerable exposure of soil macroorganisms is not expected. There are however, 7 toxicity studies with terrestrial arthropods reported for the major constituent (LAS) of the substance to register (Marlon ARL).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Short-term EC50 or LC50 for soil dwelling arthropods:
82 mg/kg soil dw
Long-term EC10, LC10 or NOEC for soil dwelling arthropods:
41 mg/kg soil dw

Additional information

The 21-day EC10 for springtails exposed to LAS in a range of soil types ranged from 82 - 205 mg/kg soil dry weight

The 21-day EC10 for mites exposed to LAS in soil was 100 mg/kg soil dry weight

The 10-week NOEC for mites exposed to LAS in soil was 320 mg/kg soil dry weight

The 8-week EC10 for springtails exposed to LAS in soil was 41 mg/kg soil dry weight
