Soil quality – Avoidance test for determining the quality of soils and effects of chemicals on behaviour – Part 2: Test with collembolans (Folsomia candida) (ISO 17512-2:2011)

Status: active
Page Count: 28
ICS Code (Biological properties of soils): 13.080.30
scope:

ISO 17512-2:2011 specifies a rapid screening method for evaluating the habitat function of soils based on the avoidance behaviour of springtails. The test is a rapid method that reflects the bioavailability of contaminants in natural soils and substances spiked into soils to Folsomia candida. In both cases, it is possible to establish a dose-response-relationship. The avoidance behaviour of the springtails is the measurement endpoint of the test. This test is not intended to replace the Collembola reproduction test.
