This software was developed by a consortium of partners to facilitate the uptake of novel approaches to estimate aquatic threshold concentrations (e.g. the concentration at which 5% of the species are exposed above their EC50, HC5).
Background
Recent opinions published by the RAC on low top dose selection in animal toxicity studies have indicated an apparent intent of increasing dosages systematically in view of the criteria u...
Background
There are increasing public and regulatory concerns regarding potential health risks posed by aggregate exposure, i.e. exposure to (the same) substance from multiple sources via multiple...
Background
Recent progress in the scientific understanding of the underlying processes of persistence and degradation has provided an opportunity to develop an improved framework and best practices...
Why?
The current paradigm for identifying data (study) requirements is based upon a surrogate of exposure, namely production volume, which may under or overestimate real exposure. As presented in ...
Why?
“Smart” or extended studies can be defined as in vivo studies that employ additional or different endpoints from conventional studies.They fall into 2 categories:those that follo...
Background
There has been a propensity by regulators to rely primarily on health surveillance/clinical case study data (case reports, clinical databases, worker exposure studies) to classify substa...
