ECOTOX, the U. S. EPA toxicology database, might be helpful to
you. The address is:
http://www.epa.gov/ecotox/
Terrestrial and aquatic data from the primary literature were abstracted
for this site, and are available by using simple queries. In your case,
you could do a quick search on lumbricus or eisenia etc. or put in a CAS
number for a pesticide. We've been accumulating a lot of metals data for
earthworms, but there's also pesticide information.
