--- For the assessment of contaminated or remediated
soils, in addition to chemical analyses, ecotoxicological tests
are performed which focus on the retention function of soils
(determined by tests with aqueous soil extracts) and on the habitat
function (determined by tests with soil). While numerous
standardized test guidelines exist to investigate effects by chemical
substances, respective test procedures for soil assessments
are lacking. To close this gap, a round robin test was performed
to support standardization. Four contaminated soils were tested
using a total of fifteen test systems including ecotoxicological
and genotoxicological tests with soil extracts and soil. The results
obtained from the tests with soil extracts are presented in
this article. | | Keywords: aquatic test systems; bioassays; ecotoxicity; genotoxicity; soil assessment; soil extracts |
