- SOIL TYPES
For the study three different soils differing in pH, clay content, organic matter content, and thus in cation exchange capacity were used:
Origin:
1. Soil l (Standard soil LUFA 2.1, sand)
2. Soil II (Standard soil LUFA 2.2, loamy sand)
3. Soil III (Standard soil LUFA 2.3, sandy loam)
- Source: Landwirtschaftliche Untersuchungs- und Forschungsanstalt (LUFA), D-6720 Speyer/F.RG.
- Storage: at room temperature until use. - Details on test conditions:
- TEST SYSTEM
- Soil preparation: already conditioned, sieved soils (2.0 mm screen) were used for the experiment. Before experimental start the dry weight of the standard soils was determined. Therefore, subsamples of approximately 20 g of each soil type were dried for 16 hours at 110 °C.
STOCK SOLUTION
- Preparation: 10.9 mg of the test item were dissolved in 100 ml of deionised water to prepare a stock solutions of 109.0 µ/ml of the test compound.
- Diluted solutions: calculated volumes of this stock solutions were diluted with deionised water to obtain standard solutions in the range from 0.055 µg/ml to 10.9 µg/ml test item. - Type:

- Recovery of test material:
- Recoveries were performed to proof the analytical method during the study. Therefore, water control samples were fortified with test compound.
Screening Adsorption: 100.9-108.3 %
Screening Desorption: 90.9-100.9 % - Details on results (Batch equilibrium method):
- BLANKS
No test item could be detected in the supernatants after blank tests with three soils, which were treated with 0.01 M CaCl2-solution without test article.
PRELIMINARY TEST
The obtained results show that the chosen chemical analysis is reproducible and satisfy.
SCREENING TEST
Adsorption
Recovery tests without soil were performed parallel to the screening adsorption test to eliminate the influence of the test system (e. g. centrifugation tubes) on the results of the tests performed in the presence of soil. Therefore, two duplicate blank tests were performed for a concentration of 4.91 mg/l.
A significant difference to the applied amount of the test compound was not found. Hence, a correction was not necessary. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not specified
- Conclusions:
- The obtained results show that the amounts of test item adsorbed by the chosen soils ranged from 85 % (soil A) to 98 % (soil B). From these amounts less than 5 % of the total initially adsorbed amounts were desorbed.
- Executive summary:
The adsorption/desorption was evaluated following internationally accepted testing guidelines (OECD 106) and the test was performed according to GLP. Adsorption and desorption of the test substance were determined on three different soils, namely a sand (soil A), a loamy sand (soil B), and a sandy loam (soil C) for a chosen test concentration of 4.91 mg/l.
Results
The obtained results show that the amounts of test item adsorbed by the chosen soils ranged from 85 % (soil A) to 98 % (soil B). From these amounts less than 5 % of the total initially adsorbed amounts were desorbed.

- EVALUATION OF RESULTS
Injected samples were quantified by peak area with reference to the calibration curve. The latter was obtained by correlation of the peak area of the analytical standards with their corresponding concentration. The correlation is performed using a least squares fit of a linear function. The amount of the adsorbed test article in the soil was obtained by subtraction of the total amount of the test article in aqueous phase from the initial amount applied to the system. Furthermore, the adsorption constants were calculated as a function of the organic carbon content of the respective soils. The results of the screening test: adsorption values were assessed with the aid of the Freundlich adsorption equation. Desorption data are presented in % of the amount of the test item adsorbed. - Type:

Description of key information
The available information suggests that Stilbene Fluorescent Whitening Agents have not an univocal adsorption/desorption behaviour describable by a range of values: they are expected to be more or less mobile depending on the soil type and conditions.

Additional information
Adsorption/desorption screening with HPLC cannot technically be performed on the members of the Stilbene Fluorescent Whitening Agents category. Three studies are available for the assessment of the adsorption potential of the substances belonging to the Stilbene Fluorescent Whitening Agents category: they were performed on CAS 16090-02-1 (morpholino derivative, disulphonate), CAS 16470-24-9 (dihydroxyethylamino tetrasulphonated salt) and on CAS 68971-49-3 (dihydroxyethylamino, esasulphonated).

As all the substances belonging to the category, the test items are very soluble in water and they are characterized by a negative log kow. The experimental Koc values obtained describe different adsorption potentials: in the cases of CAS 16090-02-1 and CAS 16470-24-9 the substances can be slightly mobile to immobile. In the case of CAS 68971-49-3 the substances resulted to be high, medium and low mobile on the basis of the different soils used. The distribution of a chemical between soil and aqueous phases is a complex process depending on a number of different factors: the chemical nature of the substance, the characteristics of the soil and climatic factors such as rainfall, temperature, sunlight and wind. The increasing (or decreasing) of the mobility seems to be not clearly influenced by a particular condition assayed in the studies. Analysing the tables data, the pH is the parameter that mainly undergoes to changes related to Koc values, nevertheless its effective impact can be considered not linear. Furthermore, the pH values do not help to trace a common behaviour: in the case CAS 68971-49-3 and CAS 16090-02-1 lower pHs correspond to higher mobility, while in the case of CAS 16470-24-9 the trend resulted inverted. In the case of CAS 68971-49-3 the clay and sand soil contents seems to be related to the Koc. In all cases, the organic carbon content and the soil cation exchange capacity seem not directly influence the chemicals’ mobility. The numerous phenomena and mechanisms involved in the process of adsorption of a chemical by soil cannot be completely defined by a simplified laboratory model: the tests performed give an indication about adsorption as process of the binding of a chemical to surfaces of soils but they do not distinguish between different adsorption processes (physical and chemical adsorption) and such processes as surface catalysed degradation, bulk adsorption or chemical reaction.
No calculation of the mass balance as well as no desorption kinetic was possible during the test conducted on CAS 68971-49-3 because an accurate quantization method has not been found during the test. On the contrary, in the two studies performed with CAS 16090-021 and CAS 16470-24-9 the percentages of substance not desorbed were in the range of 67 -84 % and 94 – 96 %, respectively. The low percentage of desorption recorded during the tests can be considered as an indication that the substances under investigation are able to interact with the soil substrates chemically; however, it cannot be established the strength of this interaction. In conclusion, the available information suggests that Stilbene Fluorescent Whitening Agents have not an univocal adsorption/desorption behaviour describable by a range of values: they are expected to be more or less mobile depending on the soil type and conditions.
