ECT at the European Conference on Plastics in Freshwater Environments
ECT contributes to the European Conference on Plastics in Freshwater Environments (Berlin, Germany, 21 – 22 June 2016):
K. Duis, A. Coors: Conceptual considerations on the environmental risk assessment of microplastics
New publications: Effects of ivermectin on the diversity and function of dung and soil fauna
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…

P. Vollmar, J. Heim, A. Kehrer, F. Sacher, A. Coors: Mixture toxicity assessment of biocides: experimental verification of the relevance of additives in wood preservative products
Publication on biosolids applied to agricultural land
Biosolids have well-documented crop and soil benefits similar to other sources of organic amendment, but there is environmental concern due to biosolids-associated pollutants. The present study investigated two field sites that had received biosolids at commercial-scale rates…
ECT participates in an international ring test with the mite Oppia nitens
With regard to terrestrial ecotoxicity testing methods, boreal regions (including the inhabiting species) are under-represented. For this reason, Environment Canada has developed a new test method with an oribatid mite that is applicable to both boreal and temperate regions.
