Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

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

A short-term and a long-term toxicity test with the earthworm Eisenia foetida were available.  The tests fulfilled the criteria for acceptability for determining each PNEC respectively. The results were:
Short-term:
14-day LC50standardised 33.0 mg/kg dry weight.
14-day NOECstandardised 10.9 mg/kg dry weight
Long-term:
56-day NOECstandardised 18.02 mg/kg dry weight

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Short-term EC50 or LC50 for soil macroorganisms:
33 mg/kg soil dw
Long-term EC10, LC10 or NOEC for soil macroorganisms:
18.02 mg/kg soil dw

Additional information

A short-term and a long-term toxicity test with the earthworm Eisenia foetida were available. The tests fulfilled the criteria for acceptability for determining each PNEC respectively. A 14-day LC50 of 97 mg/kg dwt has been determined in the test along with a 14-day NOEC of 32 mg/kg dwt. A 56-day NOEC (28-day adult plus 28-day juvenile exposure period) of 53 mg/kg dwt for earthworm reproduction has been determined in the test.

The organic matter content was approximately 10% (sphagnum moss peat 10% w/w dry weight of test soil). Therefore the results need to be corrected to obtain a result relevant for natural soils, containing a TGD default of 3.4% organic matter. A correction factor of 0.34 is therefore applied, giving standardised results of:

14-day LC50standardised 33.0 mg/kg dry weight

14-day NOECstandardised10.9 mg/kg dry weight

56-day NOECstandardised18.02 mg/kg dry weight
