Description / Abstract:
This part of ISO 17512 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.
