2,4-D is a highly toxic herbicide, neurotoxic, teratogenic, possibly carcinogenic  and well-known by its capacity of causing damages on human health and biota. This work proposes the assessment of 2,4-D toxicity levels in four Brazilian soil classes, using bioassays with earthworms (Eisenia andrei). Acute toxicity tests were performed with one sedimentary, two colluvial and one residual soils previously infected with solutions of agronomical concentration. No significant levels of mortality were observed, suggesting low acute toxicity to soil earthworms. However, the […]
