Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
A datum on the mineralisation of organic N by soil microorganism is available in a review. However, no NOEC was mentioned. Graphically, we can estimate it to be probably between 0.1 and 10 mg/kg soil. It is not clear whether the results were expressed in kg wet soil or dry soil. The exact NOEC is also unclear as the experimental design and statistics were not presented. Therefore, this result cannot be used to derive a PNEC
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Ammonification and nitrification are the most important processes of the nitrogen cycle. Usually tests for effects of pesticides are carried out with nitrogen-containing amendments like lucerne meal. In soils with a low carbon content such amendments may result in disturbance of soil populations. The ammonium ions released by nitrification are converted by nitrifying bacteria via nitrite in nitrate. Nitrification can also be studied by addition of ammonium directly to the soil. In this way, a NOEC (inhibition of nitrification in soil) for ETU, a conversion product in soil of ethylenebisdithiocarbamate fungicides (e.g. maneb, zineb) was graphically estimated between 0.1 and 10 mg/kg soil.
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.
