Dataset

Description

This dataset contains ecotoxicology measurements of Eisenia fetida earthworms exposed to different types of bio-based teabags, at four concentration levels. Variables measured include mortality, growth, reproductive output (number of egg cocoons and juveniles) and were collected over a 28-day period. This research is part of the BIO-PLASTIC-RISK project, funded by Natural Environment Research Council through the grants NE/V007556/1 and NE/V007246/1.
