Hyalella azteca bioconcentration test (HYBIT)
ECHA recently announced that the Hyalella azteca bioconcentration test (HYBIT) can fulfil the standard information requirement under REACH for bioaccumulation, unless dietary exposure is required (read more). Thereby, the bioconcentration test (OECD TG 305) with fish will be replaced on a case-by-case basis with a test system that uses freshwater amphipods, i.e. non-vertebrates. A test […]
New publication on TKTD modeling of sublethal endpoints for time‐variable toxicant exposure of Ceriodaphnia
Toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic (TKTD) modeling can integrate all available data from individual‐level bioassays into a single framework and enable refined risk assessments by extrapolating from laboratory results to time‐variable exposure scenarios. Dynamic energy budget (DEB) models coupled with TKTD modules (DEB-TKTD) are an approach to assess and predict sublethal effects of chemicals on individual organisms. However, thorough […]
Report published on HP 14 classification of mirror entries in the List of Wastes
Depending on its composition, waste from mirror entries has to be categorized as hazardous or non-hazardous. The hazard property ‘ecotoxic’ (HP 14) can be evaluated based on the content of hazardous substances in the respective waste or using ecotoxicity tests with samples and eluates of this waste. At the EU level, specific requirements for the […]
