Talks ICSZ:
Stephan Jänsch, Jörg Römbke, Hubert Höfer, Franz Horak, Martina Roß-Nickoll, David Russell, Andreas Toschki: Earthworms in permanent soil monitoring sites – state of knowledge, database and concept for the improvement of a soil biodiversity assessment within the German National Strategy on Biodiversity
Chairing
J. Römbke is co-chairing the session ‘Soil Ecotoxicology’, the special session ‘Integrating different tools for assessing soil health status’ and the Annual Meeting of the SETAC-Europe Advisory Group DOTTS (Dung Organism Toxicity Testing Standardization).
SETAC GLB is a regional branch of SETAC Europe and particularly engaged in supporting education and training of young scientists in the area of environmental sciences. Anja Coors has been in the council of SETAC GLB […]
For the activated sludge respiration inhibition test, the updated OECD test guideline 209 (22 July 2010) requires more replicates per treatment than the former guideline. To accomplish this new requirement and process the test within a reasonable timeframe, ECT recently established a multi-channel oxygen meter that allows simultaneous measurement and processing of respiration rates in […]
Invited presentation by Anja Coors:
The fish embryo toxicity test as a screening method to predict the toxicity of biocidal products
The application of veterinary medical products to livestock can affect soil organisms in manure-amended fields and, especially, organisms colonising the dung of treated animals, thereby potentially delaying the degradation of dung on pastures. For this reason, the authorisation process for veterinary medical products in the European Union includes a requirement for higher-tier tests when adverse effects on dung organisms are observed in lower tier toxicity tests. An international research project was performed…

A. Coors is chairing the session ‘Combined effects of climate changes, biological invasions and pollution’
The aim of the project was the validation of a sediment bioaccumulation test with endobenthic oligochaetes by an international ring test. The test method was developed taking into account existing methods (UBA-reports 298 67 419 (1999) and 206 03 106/03 (1999)). A test protocol was prepared and used to run the test. A total of […]
The aim of the project was the validation of a sediment toxicity test with the benthic oligochaete Lumbriculus variegatus by an international ring test. The test method was developed taking into account existing methods. A test protocol was prepared and used to run the test. A total of 14 institutions (governmental agencies, universities, contract laboratories […]
The aim of this project, which was supported by the German Environment Agency (UBA), was to standardise and validate a test guideline using soil predatory mites, a Hypoaspis reproduction test. Testing effects of plant protection products on predatory soil mites may be needed for the listing of an active substance in Annex I of EU […]
