Description of key information

NOEC (56 d) ≥  1000 mg/kg soil dw  for Eisenia fetida 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

One chronic study is available investigating the toxicity of Benzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-, C18-22-alkyl esters (CAS No. 201305-16-0) to soil macroorganisms.

The study was performed under GLP and according to OECD Guideline 222 using the earthworm Eisenia foetida as test organism (Simon, 2013). This test was conducted using artificial soil. No mortality or significant weight changes were observed in the control and the treatments during the test period of 28 days. Furthermore, no effects in reproduction up to the highest test concentration were observed. Based on reproduction the NOEC (56 d) was determined to be ≥ 1000 mg/kg dw soil.
