Additional information

There are no studies available on terrestrial arthropods for sodium aluminate. Nevertheless, aluminium is the most abundant metallic element in the Earth's crust. Based on its ubiquitous occurrence the present natural background concentration far outweighs anthropogenic contributions of aluminium to the terrestrial environment. As detailed in the endpoint summary on terrestrial toxicity in general further toxicity testing on terrestrial organisms is considered unjustified and waiving based on exposure consideration is applied.

However, for reasons of completeness existing data on the terrestrail toxicity of aluminium are provided in addition and summerised here. In a laboratory study by Crouau & Moia (2006) with the springtail Folsomia candida the toxicity of alumnium to reproduction and growth was investigated over a period of 35 days of exposure. LOECs for growth and reproduction were determined to be 500 and 125 µg/L, respectively. The EC50 for reproduction was 210 µg/L.
