Abstract
⺠Organoclays are toxic to soil dehydrogenase and nitrification activities. ⺠They are also toxic to soil inhabiting earthworms. ⺠Extent of toxicity depends on the type, structure and chain length of the surfactants. ⺠Application rates of organoclays to soils also affect the toxicity levels.
