no toxic effect known
12.1.2 Acute / long-duration toxicity for eddyless water organisms: no toxic effect known
12.1.3 Acute / long-duration toxicity for aquatic plants:
no toxic effect known
12.1.4 Toxicity for microorganisms, eg. bacteria:
in high concentration dolomite
causes higher pH-value, which
can be used for hygienisation
12.1.5 Chronic toxicity for water organisms:
no test results – dolomite is used
for treatment of drinking water
12.1.6 Toxicity for soil organisms:
no test results
12.1.7 Toxicity on plants:
no test results, dolomite is used
as a fertilizer
12.1.8 Additional information:
none
12.2
Mobility in earth:
dolomite is nearly insoluble in water. Because of that
mobility in soil is very low. Dolomite is used as a
fertilizer
