Additional information

Chronic data are available for different species of arthropod soil invertebrates. NOEC/EC10values range from 36.4 mg Ni/kg for reproduction by the springtailFolsomia candida(Ghent University and Euras, 2005) to 1,140 mg Ni/kg for reproduction byF. candida(Ghent University and Euras, 2005).  Below are the accepted high quality studies for arthropod soil macro-organisms used for derivation of the HC5and terrestrial PNEC:
