Description of key information
Additional information
Toxicity to soil macroorganisms except arthopods
The test for soil macroorganisms except arthopods is proposed according to Annex X, Section 9.4 as the results of the chemical safety assessment according to Annex I indicates the need to investigate further the effects of the test substance on soil macroorganisms. In addition, direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment cannot be entirely ruled out. Therefore, the soil macroorganisms test: Earthworm Reproduction Test (Eisenia fetida/Eisenia andrei) (OECD TG 222) is proposed.
Toxicity to terrestrial plants
Lithium is readily absorbed by plants, causing plants to be an indicator of soil lithium concentrations. The concentrations in plants show a wide variation, depending on the geographical location. It is reported that lithium is not a dietary mineral for plants, but stimulates plant growth. The amount of lithium in plants usually is between 0.5 and 3 ppm (dry mass).
The test for terrestrial plants is proposed according to Annex X, Section 9.4 as the results of the chemical safety assessment according to Annex I indicates the need to investigate further the effects of the test substance on terrestrial organisms.
In addition, direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment cannot be entirely ruled out. Therefore, the terrestrial plant test: Seedling Emergence and Seedling Growth Test (OECD TG 208) is proposed.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
