Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
Calcination product of titanium dioxide, tin monoxide, zinc oxide and dihydrogen wolframate
EC Number:
941-788-4
Molecular formula:
Ti 1 Sn 0,6 Zn 0,5 W 0,15 O 4
IUPAC Name:
Calcination product of titanium dioxide, tin monoxide, zinc oxide and dihydrogen wolframate
Details on test material:
- Physical state: solid, red

Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:
no

Test substrate

Vehicle:
no
Details on preparation and application of test substrate:
- Method of mixing into soil (if used): The test substance is insoluble in water. Therefore the weighed portion was mixed with quartz sand and then formulated in artificial soil. Portions of about 750 g moistened substrate were given to the test pots.

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):
Eisenia fetida
