Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In the key long-term study the EC10 for H. assimilis was 100 mg/kg dry weight, and the EC10 for H. aculeifer was 82 mg/kg dry weight.  In the short-term study the EC10 for Folsomia fimetaria in various soils ranged from 85-93 mg/kg dry weight soil.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Short-term EC50 or LC50 for soil dwelling arthropods:
85 mg/kg soil dw
Long-term EC10, LC10 or NOEC for soil dwelling arthropods:
82 mg/kg soil dw

Additional information

In the short-term study, groups of 10 male and 10 female Folsomia fimetaria were exposed to various concentrations of Na-LAS (LAS) in three different soil types for 21 days. At the end of this period, the number of adult and juvenile organisms was counted. Another test was done to compare the toxicity of three LAS salts, Na, Ca, and Mg, in one soil type (sandy). There was little variation in toxicity among the three soil types and in the three salt species. The EC10 for Folsomia fimetaria for LAS in various soils ranged from 85-93 mg/kg dry weight soil.

In the key long-term study, groups of H. assimilis and H. aculeifer were exposed to various concentrations of test material for 21 days. At the end of this period, the number of offspring were counted. Based on reproduction, the EC10 for H. assimilis was 100 mg/kg dry weight, and the EC10 for H. aculeifer was 82 mg/kg dry weight.
