“…Also Kobetičová et al (2007) found no toxic effect of PAH contamination on the tested enchytraeid species. Enchytraeids might avoid soil of higher PAH contamination levels, but this might also depend on the actual compounds present (Achazi et al, 1999;Didden & Römbke, 2001). Our results do not confi rm such avoidance behaviour.…”

“…Nevertheless, Eijsackers et al (2001) concluded that PAH-contaminated sediments have no signifi cant ecotoxicological impact on earthworms; and Erstfeld & Snow-Ashbrook (1999) revealed even positive associations of the growth of the earthworm Eisenia andrei with PAH concentrations, in toxicity testing of contaminated industrial soils. Didden & Römbke (2001) gave an overview of our present knowledge on the impact of soil contaminants on enchytraeids, pointing out the overall suitability of enchytraeids for monitoring purposes, but also the data defi ciency in regard of PAH, the need of combining laboratory and fi eld studies, and the interspecifi c differences in enchytraeid reactions to pollutants. Achazi et al (1999) showed Enchytraeus crypticus to be hardly affected by PAH, as to survival and reproduction, but to avoid substrate contaminated by some PAH (fl uoranthene) while tolerating others (benzo[a]pyrene).…”

“…Variations were caused by a mixture of factors such as inherent biological variability or the level of experience of the participants. However, the ERT results were robust enough to standardize this method-a view which was supported by the first review on the effects of chemicals on enchytraeids (Didden and Römbke, 2001). Based on these experiences, carbendazim was selected as reference substance for the ERT .…”

“…Two years later, Didden and Römbke (2001) summarized the information provided in about 30 papers and identified issues deserving further attention. With the improvement of extraction methods and a better availability of taxonomic keys in the past 10 years (Schmelz and Collado, 2010), our knowledge on enchytraeid taxonomy and ecology as well as their reaction to pesticides have certainly increased considerably, not only in Europe but also for example in Brazil (Chelinho et al, 2012;Assis, 2015).…”
