Highlights
The bauxite residue is an industrial waste, which is produced 0.7–2 tons each ton of alumina production [1]
We investigated its ecotoxicological effects on two annelid species: Dendrobaena veneta and Enchytraeus albidus
The bauxite residue addition (< 5/10 %) raised the pH and water holding capacity level of soils. Both types of the bauxite residue increased the motion-frequency of the worms
Summary
The bauxite residue (red mud) is an industrial waste, which is produced 0.7–2 tons each ton of alumina production [1]. This material is alkaline and highly saline [2]. They can affect the soil physical and chemical parameters [12, 13] and increase the plant production [14]. Both the earthworms and Enchytraeidae (potworms) are recommended ecotoxicological test organisms. The following guidelines prescribe the method of determining the above-mentioned endpoints in environmental risk assessment processes [17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24]
