Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicity to soil macroorganisms except arthropods

Description of key information
No key information has been identified to cover this endpoint. However, since the outcome of the CSA, using the current PNECsoil, did not indicate the need to refine the terrestrial hazard assessment, further testing is not required.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
One study was identified as containing relevant and reliable information on the toxicity of lanthanum to soil macroorganisms. In the study of Wen et al. (2006), earthworms (Eisenia fetida) were added to soil samples from nine Chinese soils, in which total rare earth element concentrations (among which lanthanum) were determined. During 6 weeks of exposure, no mortality occurred in any of the soils. The highest lanthanum concentration was 71.9 mg/kg soil dw, whereas the summed concentration of La/Y/Ce/Pr/Nd was 162.28 mg/kg soil dw. These concentrations can be considered as L0 values, or the NOEC can be considered as being higher or equal to these values (endpoint survival). Although exposure was mixed (several rare earth elements), an indication is obtained from this study which lanthanum concentrations do not adversely affect earthworms. However, this study alone cannot be used to cover the endpoint.
Since the outcome of the CSA, using the current PNECsoil, did not indicate the need to refine the terrestrial hazard assessment, further testing is not required.
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.
