Table 19.

Reptiles. Relevant life stages, exposure routes, effects (acute here in the table means short‐term exposure and immediate effects) (chronic here in the table means long‐term exposure and also includes sublethal and delayed effects from short‐term exposure), possible coverage by endpoints available for other non‐target organisms and conclusions for the risk assessment

Life stage Exposure route Effect Covered by Conclusion
Terrestrial stages Embryo Contact Soil Acute/chronic No data available for a comparison Not currently addressed, no reproducible method available, if data become available suggesting a need, a new method will need to be designed
Juvenile, adult Water Acute/chronic No data available for a comparison Not currently addressed, no reproducible method available, applies to a limited number of species/conditions. It is possible that it will be covered by a dermal toxicity test with amphibians (if developed)
Plants Acute/chronic No data available for a comparison Not currently addressed, no reproducible method available, considered relevant, if data become available suggesting a need, a new method will need to be designed
Overspray (incl. stone walls, drift deposition) Acute No data available for a comparison Not currently addressed, no reproducible method available, considered relevant, if data become available suggesting a need, it is possible that it will be covered by a dermal toxicity test with amphibians (if developed)
Soil Acute/chronic No data available for a comparison Not currently addressed, no reproducible method available, considered relevant, if data become available suggesting a need, a new method will need to be designed
Oral Food Acute/chronic Current data show poor correlation with both avian and mammalian data. Not currently addressed, no reproducible method available, considered relevant, if data become available suggesting a need, a new method will need to be designed
Drinking water Acute/chronic No data available for a comparison Sufficiently addressed by oral uptake of food
