Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

On a molecular weight scaled basis, the 1d EC50 would be 22.6 mg/kg soil dw. (10x 172.24) /76.13 =22.6 mg/kg soil dw
After fumigation of soils with CS2 the microbial metabolism of soil was seriously affected. At 10 mg CS2/kg the nitrification was completely inhibited.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Short-term EC50 for soil microorganisms:
22.6 mg/kg soil dw
Long-term EC10 or NOEC for soil microorganisms:
0.95 mg/kg soil dw

Additional information

On a molecular weight scaled basis, the EC50 would be 22.6 mg/kg soil dw. (10x 172.24) /76.13 =22.6 mg/kg soil dw After fumigation of soils with CS2 the microbial metabolism of soil was seriously affected. At 10 mg CS2/kg the nitrification was completely inhibited.

The nitrification in three soil types was inhibited by CS2. The 5-d EC50 in Harps clay loam soil was 0.21 mg/kg soil dw and the 14-d EC50 was 2.1 mg/kg soil dw.

On a molecular weight scaled basis, the EC50 would be 4.75 mg/kg soil dw. (2.1 x 172.24) /76.13 =4.75 mg/kg soil dw(NOEC=0.95 mg/kg soil)
