Traduction de «terrestrial plants growth test » (Anglais → Français) :

Moreover the excessive discharge of nutrients (which consist of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds) into surface waters is a basic cause of increased eutrophication (accelerated growth of algae and forms of plant life), which increases the risk of imbalance as regards water oxygen, increased extinction of fish populations and other aquatic organisms, and increased harm suffered by related terrestrial ecosystems.

The aquatic plant growth inhibition tests are normally considered as chronic tests but the ECs are treated as acute values for classification purposes (see note 2).

76. Draws attention to the fact that the current 20 % target is based on the contribution made by nuclear power to the energy mix in number of Member States; notes that the IEA's World Energy Outlook 2011 includes a ‘lower-nuclear’ case according to which the projected increase in worldwide CO2 emissions from the power sector would be substantially higher in the medium term due to an increased use of fossil fuels; reiterates that the decision by some Member States to shut down some existing nuclear reactors must not serve to justify reducing the level of ambition of their current climate policies; points out that, according to the IEA, achieving the 2°C goal would require faster development and deployment of CCS technologies in both coal- and gas-fi ...[+++]red power plants; notes, however, that CCS technology is still at the testing and pre-commercial stage, so alternative scenarios also need to be considered, such as high renewables and energy efficiency scenarios; thus calls for increased support for the development and application of breakthrough technologies in order to increase energy efficiency and decouple economic growth from energy consumption;

The risk assessment concluded that there is no need for risk reduction measures beyond those which are being applied already with regard to risk to consumers, human health (physico-chemical properties), risks to the atmosphere and risks to micro-organisms in the sewage treatment plant, and that there is a need for further information and or testing with respect to risks to workers, to humans exposed via the environment and to the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem ...[+++], in order to adequately characterise the concerns regarding the persistent, bio-accumulative and toxic properties of the substance.[8] Commission Regulation 565/2006 required further studies to be carried out for the purpose of risk evaluation, including on developmental neurotoxicity, human bio-monitoring and environmental monitoring programmes.[9] The risks caused by the use of Deca-BDE in EEE are aggravated by recent findings[10] about uncontrolled dumping of waste in the EU and in particular about illegal trade of WEEE to countries with sub-standard waste management conditions. User industry can apply for temporary exemptions from the ban following the criteria of Article 5(1)(b) of the present proposal.

2.6. Effects on terrestrial plants (seed germination, plant growth, plant up-take etc.) These studies should be carried out under controlled conditions and field conditions, using different plant species.
