Additional information

The test substance is not supposed to be directly applied to soil and an indirect exposure to soil via sewage sludge transfer is unlikely

since the substance is readily biodegradable. For a substance being considered as „readily biodegradable“, it can be assumed that it will be biodegraded within the STP process and as a consequence a transfer to the soil compartment is not expected. Therefore, no tests on terrestrial organisms are provided. No tests on terrestrial organisms are performed since direct exposure of the soil compartment to the substance is unlikely and the substance is readily biodegradable.

Furthermore, due the results of the environmental risk assessment, based on a PNECsoil derived by EPM, no risk for the soil compartment is identified. Thus, further testing on terrestrial organisms is not necessary.
