| Abstract: | Purpose Terrestrial ecotoxicology includes the investigation of the impact of chemicals on soils and soil-inhabiting organisms, whereby
ecotoxicological effects are mainly assessed using single-species laboratory tests. As part of laboratory testing, reference
substances, with known toxicity, are regularly used to confirm the sensitivity of the cultivated test organisms over time.
Furthermore, reference substances are also applied in ring test evaluations for the validation of new test methods. The present
work evaluates boric acid for its suitability as a potential reference substance for tests with higher plants and soil organisms
(e.g., invertebrates and microbial communities). |
