Ten organic chemicals were tested for toxicity to four earthworm species: Allolobophora tuberculata, Eisenia fetida, Eudrilus eugeniae and Perionyx excavatus, using the European Economic Community's (EEC) earthworm artificial soil and contact testing procedure. The phenols were the most toxic chemicals tested, followed by the amine, substituted benzenes, halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbon, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and phthalate as the least toxic chemical tested. Correlations among species within each type of test for a given chemical were extremely high, suggesting that the selection of earthworm test species does not markedly affect the assessment of a chemical's toxicity. The correlation between the two tests was low for all test species. The contact test LC50 for a given chemical cannot be directly correlated to an artificial soil test LC50 for the same earthworm species.
使用欧洲经济共同体（EEC）的蚯蚓人工土壤和接触测试程序，对十种有机化学品进行了对四种蚯蚓物种的毒性测试：结节异唇蚓（Allolobophora tuberculata）、赤子爱胜蚓（Eisenia fetida）、真蚓（Eudrilus eugeniae）和掘穴环爪蚓（Perionyx excavatus）。酚类是测试的毒性最大的化学品，其次是胺类，然后是取代苯、卤代脂肪烃、多环芳烃，邻苯二甲酸酯是测试的毒性最小的化学品。对于给定化学品的每种测试类型中，物种之间的相关性极高，这表明选择蚯蚓测试物种不会显著影响化学品毒性的评估。所有测试物种的两种测试之间的相关性都很低。给定化学品的接触测试半数致死浓度（LC50）与同一蚯蚓物种的人工土壤测试LC50不能直接相关。
