- ARTIFICIAL SOIL COMPOSITION
- Sphagnum Peat: 10 % of dry matter of artificial soil. The peat was air dried before use.

- Quartz Sand: 70 % of dry matter of artificial soil. Fine quartz sand (round grains) was used.
- Calcium Carbonate CaCO3: Analytical grade, used for pH adjustment
Preparation of Artificial Soil: the dry constituents of the soil were mixed thoroughly in a well-ventilated area.
The pH of the final mixture was measured as 5.9. A small part of this mixture was used for the 24 hours acclimatisation of the animals used in this test. For this it was adjusted with demineralised water to a calculated water content of 50 % of the maximum water holding capacity calculated in relation to dry matter.
For the test the artificial soil described above was divided into 10 portions of an appropriate amount (4400 g for the blank control resp. 2200 g for each treatment dry weight). The required amount of test item was given to each portion using demineralised water which was used for adjustment of the artificial soil to a calculated water content of 50% of the maximum water holding capacity calculated in relation to dry matter. Afterwards, it was mixed and 659.8 g wet weight of each portion was introduced into a 1 L glass preserving jar. - Test organisms (species):

- Details on results:
- - Mortality of parents at end of 28-d exposure period: Not more 2.5% of the introduced earthworm in any treatement.
- Changes in body weigth of live adults (% of initial weight) at end of exposure period: -2 to 35% growth across treatements (min - max).
- No. of offspring produced: 52 - 100 juveniles across treatments (min - max). - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The 56d-EC50 of Benomyl (CAS-No. 17804-35-2) was tested in a current reference test. The value was determined as 1.9 mg/kg dry soil, lying within the required range of OECD Guideline 222 of 1 – 5 mg/kg.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Calculation of results was performed with the help of validated software (Microsoft Ex-cel®). The estimation of the biological data was accomplished using the software Tox-Rat® Professional, version 3.2.1
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Eisenia andrei adults were exposed to 9 graded concentrations of dipentamethylenethiuram hexasulfide for 28 days and cocoon/juveniles for another 28 day period. Adult survival and growth and number of juvenile produced per treatment were examined. No significant effect on parental survival and juvenile production was seen up to 1000 mg/kg soil dw. NOEC for the whole study is therefore considered superior or equal to 1000 mg/kg soil dw.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed using 9 concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 1000 mg/kg dry soil (4 replicates) and a control (8 replicates), following OECD 222 guideline protocol. In each replicate, 10 adult animals were exposed to the test item (except control group) for 28 days in an artificial soil. After 28 days, the living adult animals were counted and weighted, and 28 days later, the number of juveniles produced was determined.
No significant effect on parental survival and juvenile production was seen up to 1000 mg/kg soil dw. NOEC for the whole study is therefore considered superior or equal to 1000 mg/kg soil dw.

Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
One reliable Klimisch 1 study is available for long-term toxicity to soil macroorganisms.The study was performed using 9 concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 1000 mg/kg dry soil (4 replicates) and a control (8 replicates), following OECD 222 guideline protocol. In each replicate, 10 adult animals were exposed to the test item (except control group) for 28 days in an artificial soil. After 28 days, the living adult animals were counted and weighted, and 28 days later, the number of juveniles produced was determined.No significant effect on parental survival and juvenile production was seen up to 1000 mg/kg soil dw. NOEC for the whole study is therefore considered superior or equal to 1000 mg/kg soil dw.
