There was performed test of ecotoxicity with using earthworm Eisenia Fetida as chief representative of terrestrial organisms in the study. Soil matrix LUFA 2.3 was selected as a model of natural soil environment. Tested FEAs were follows: Sthamex F-15, Moussol-APS F-15 and Finiflam F-15. For experimental purposes, laboratory installation for infiltration was designed and compiled. Infiltration of three FEAs solutions was done before the ecotoxicity testing. Contaminated soil after infiltration was tested for semi-chronic ecotoxicity and reproduction ecotoxicity then. Introductory results indicates differences between each FEA, caused by various composition. Sthamex F-15 was determined as the most ecotoxic agent at all. Whilst Moussol-APS F-15 was evaluated as the agent with least ecotoxicity effect.
