The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out thr

International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collabo

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Stand

21、ts seredevr vIntroduction The majority of existing ecotoxicological test methods (biotests) being internationally harmonized were developed to describe the ecotoxic potential of a test substance when added to a soil or soil material. These methods can be used, with some modification, for the ecotoxi
22、cological characterization of soils and soil materials with respect to their function and depending on the intended use. However, in such cases, users of the methods need to be aware that the validation of the methods is not complete. For substances with properties resulting in toxic effects, biotes
23、ts are a complement to conventional chemical analysis. Results from chemical analysis can be used for ecotoxicological assessments based on information on the substances identified, including properties of the chemicals, e.g. their bioaccumulation potential. This information is often scarce (if it e
24、xists at all) and does not include possible interactions (synergy/antagonism) between chemicals and the complex soil matrix. Furthermore, an exhaustive identification and quantification of substances is impractical. Therefore, ecotoxicological testing of soils can be used for investigating the poten
25、tial toxicity of complex chemical mixtures. The extrapolation from laboratory tests to field conditions requires adequate consideration of important environmental factors within the test conditions and the selection of suitable ecotoxicological endpoints. This International Standard is one of a seri
26、es providing guidance on soils and soil materials in relation to certain functions and uses, including wildlife conservation, and ought to be read in conjunction with those other standards.

27、l quality Guidance on the ecotoxicological characterization of soils and soil materials 1 Scope This International Standard provides guidance on the selection of experimental methods for the assessment of the ecotoxic potential of soils and soil materials (e.g. excavated and remediated soils, refill
28、s, embankments) with respect to their intended use and possible adverse effects on aquatic and soil-dwelling organisms, and habitat maintenance and the retention function of the soil. It does not cover tests for bioaccumulation. Genotoxicity tests using eukaryotic organisms in soils are not yet avai
29、lable. It is not applicable to the ecological assessment of uncontaminated soils with a view to natural, agricultural or horticultural use, such soils being of possible interest where they can serve as a reference for the assessment of soils from contaminated sites. Nor is the interpretation of the
30、results gained by application of the proposed methods within its scope. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 Types of soil and other soil materials 2.1.1 soil upper layer of the Earths crust composed of mineral particles, organic m

40、1 Soils and areas of soil use where ecotoxicological tests should be considered: assessment of the ability of a soil to sustain a natural biocenosis or agriculture; assessment of the combined ecotoxicity of all bioavailable contaminants present in soils or soil materials; assessment of the ecotoxici
41、ty of potentially harmful substances in cases where the soil or soil material can affect the ground and surface water; identification of soils or soil materials (refills, embankments) having a low degree of contamination usually within a depth of 1 m and which can remain at the site without further
42、treatment; detection of potential ecotoxicity which could not be traced by chemical analysis; monitoring and control of the success of soil treatment (off-site, on-site, in situ); monitoring and control of soils/soil materials that have been decontaminated and are to be applied at the surface. 3.2 S
43、oils and areas of soil use where ecotoxicological tests are not necessary (provided groundwater contamination can be excluded): contaminated soils classified as hazardous waste or which can be characterized clearly by chemical/analytical parameters, in which cases ecotoxicological testing could be u
44、seful for a final investigation after remediation and for process control during biological remediation; commercially/industrially used areas with no prospect of horticultural/agricultural use; soil materials or backfilled materials in an area to be effectively sealed by covering with buildings or o
45、ther forms of low permeability cover such as concrete or tarmacadam or asphalt. 4 Selection of tests according to use/re-use of soils and soil materials and soil functions 4.1 Use of ecotoxicity tests Toxicants can affect different species (and in some cases genotypes) present within ecosystems at d
46、ifferent concentrations. The ideal approach for the precise ecotoxicological characterization of the soil toxicity is to use a battery of tests with several species belonging to different taxonomic and trophic groups, in order to avoid false negative results owing to an adaptation of a test system (
47、genotypic shift) to a specific contaminant as compared to uncontaminated soils. Studies using field or semi-field investigations are rarely carried out and can be very expensive. The ideal scheme can be rendered more practicable by the adoption of simpler testing strategies and the application of sa
48、fety factors to the results obtained. If, however, testing is performed on one species or function only, the high diversity in the sensitivity of species to toxicants will result in a high level of uncertainty. It is therefore recommended to test at least a microbial process, a species from the plan
49、t kingdom, and one from the animal kingdom, usually a saprophagous/detritivorous species; if more than one animal species is tested, a predatory species should be included in the test battery. The minimum number of species to be tested depends on the regulations to which the test strategy must comply. This International Standard only gives the basic principles for their use. Further considerations to th
