Avoidance tests with collembolans provide a quick assessment of soil quality. However, some parameters of the procedure can be modified in order to increase its performance. In this study we assessed the tendency of Folsomia candida to avoid soils contaminated with boric acid (350-700-1400-2800-5600 mg/kg soil dry weight (dw)), phenmedipham (35-70-140-280 mg/kg dw) or petroleum hydrocarbons (1312-1838-2625-3675-5250 mg/kg dw) by preferring an untreated soil. Two separate methodologies were applied, the one presented in the ISO standard 17512:2 and a modified version of the Petri dish method that allowed data acquisition after 2, 24 and 48 hours of exposure. After combining data from three separate trials, effective median concentration values (EC 50 ) from the presented method were lower and showed similar or less variability than those from the ISO procedure, suggesting the modified protocol as a suitable alternative screening tool.

“…The luminescence intensity can elucidate the metabolic bacteria status (Wolska et al 2007), being the reduction of light proportional to the toxic effect produced by the substance tested (Mortimer et al 2008). Also, D. magna immobilisation (acute tests) and reproduction (chronic tests) have been successfully 5 used by other authors as indicators of contamination by heavy metals, and other contaminants, on different matrixes (Renoux et al 2001;Kungolos et al 2004;Alvarenga et al 2007Alvarenga et al , 2009Wilke et al 2008), as these invertebrates are identified as being quite sensitive to a wide range of contaminants (Bostan et al 2005;Barata et al 2007; Miranda et al 2010). …”

Esta es la versión de autor del artículo publicado en: This is an author produced version of a paper published in: El acceso a la versión del editor puede requerir la suscripción del recurso Access to the published version may require subscription AbstractSeveral amendments were tested on soils obtained from an arsenopyrite mine, further planted with Arrhenatherum elatius and Festuca curvifolia, in order to assess their ability to improve soil's ecotoxicological characteristics. The properties used to assess the effects were: soil enzymatic activities (dehydrogenase, β-glucosidase, acid phosphatase, urease, protease and cellulase), terrestrial bioassays (Eisenia fetida mortality and avoidance behavior), and aquatic bioassays using a soil leachate (Daphnia magna immobilisation and Vibrio fischeri bioluminescence inhibition).The treatment with FeSO4 1% w/w was able to reduce extractable As in soil, but increased the extractable Cu, Mn and Zn concentrations, as a consequence of the decrease in soil pH, in relation to the unamended soil, from 5.0 to 3.4, respectively. As a consequence, this treatment had a detrimental effect in some of the soil enzymatic activities (e.g. dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase, urease and cellulase), did not allow plant growth, induced E. fetida mortality in the highest concentration tested (100% w/w), and its soil leachate was very toxic towards D. magna and V. fischeri. The combined application of FeSO4 1% w/w with other treatments (e.g. CaCO3 1% w/w and paper mill 1% w/w) allowed a decrease in extractable As and metals, and a soil pH 3 value closer to neutrality. As a consequence, dehydrogenase activity, plant growth and some of the bioassays identified those as better soil treatments to this type of multicontaminated soil.
