Two members of the project team have successfully participated in the SETAC congress in Brussels from May 7-11 2017. with two presentations: a platform presentation and a poster presentation. Research conducted within the DEFENSoil project has been presented. In the work “Influence of temperature and moisture on toxicity of propiconazole and chlorantraniliprole to earthworm Eisenia fetida” the influence of elevated temperature and reduced soil moisture on toxicity of pesticides was investigated by measuring biochemical markers in earthworms, as well as microbial activity in the feces of earthworms. In the second presented study, the influence of different ways of exposing enchytraeids to nanoparticles to their toxicity was studied, by measuring biochemical markers.
