Animal alternative tests are gaining serious consideration in an array of environmental sciences, particularly as they relate to sound management chemicals and wastewater discharges. The ILSI Health Environmental Sciences Institute the European Centre for Ecotoxicology Toxicology Chemicals (ECETOC) held International Workshop on Application Fish Embryo Test March, 2008. This relatively young discipline is following advances animal alternatives human safety it advisable develop a broad...
Abstract When addressing the use of fish for environmental safety chemicals and effluents, there are many opportunities applying principles 3Rs: Reduce, Refine, Replace. The current regulatory testing strategy bioconcentration secondary poisoning has been reviewed, alternative approaches that provide useful information described. Several can be used to reduce number in Organization Economic Cooperation Development (OECD) Test Guideline 305, including vivo test methods such as dietary...
The ecotoxicity testing of chemicals for prospective environmental safety assessment is an area in which a high number vertebrates are used across variety industry sectors. Refining, reducing, and replacing the use animals such as fish, birds, amphibians this purpose addresses ethical concerns increasing legislative requirements to consider alternative test methods. Members UK-based National Centre Replacement, Refinement Reduction Animals Research (NC3Rs) Ecotoxicology Working Group,...
Water is used in petroleum oil refineries significant volumes for cooling, steam generation and processing of raw materials. Effective water management required at to ensure their efficient responsible operation with respect the environment. However, ascertaining potential environmental risks associated discharge refinery effluents receiving waters challenging because compositional complexity. Recent European research regulatory initiatives propose a more holistic approach including...
Large-scale toxicogenomic screening approaches offer great promise for generating a bias-free system-wide view of toxicological effects and modes-of-action chemicals ecotoxicants. However, early applications microarray technology have identified relatively small groups responding genes with which to define new targets analysis by conventional means. We trialled more intensive approach the design interpretation array experiments incorporating balanced interwoven ANOVA higher levels biological...
Clearly defined protection goals specifying what to protect, where and when, are required for designing scientifically sound risk assessments effective management of chemicals. Environmental specified in EU legislation general terms, resulting uncertainty how achieve them. In 2010, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published a framework identify more specific based on ecosystem services potentially affected by plant products. But applicable is this chemicals with different emission...
Urban regions of the world are expanding rapidly, placing additional stress on water resources. bodies serve many purposes, from washing and sources drinking to transport conduits for storm drainage effluent discharge. These receive chemical emissions arising either single or multiple point sources, diffuse which can be continuous, intermittent, seasonal. Thus, aquatic organisms in these exposed temporally compositionally variable mixtures. We have delineated source-specific signatures...
Current biodegradation screening tests are not specifically designed for persistence assessment of chemicals, often show high inter- and intra-test variability, give false negative results. Based on previous studies recommendations, an international ring test involving 13 laboratories validated a new method marine with focus improving the reliability to determine environmental degradation potential chemicals. The incorporated increased bacterial cell concentrations better represent microbial...

Significant progress has been made in the scientific understanding of factors that influence outcome biodegradation tests used to assess persistence (P) chemicals. This needs be evaluated whether recently acquired knowledge could enhance existing regulations and environmental risk assessments. Biodegradation have limitations, which are accentuated for "difficult-to-test" substances, failure recognize these can potentially lead inappropriate conclusions regarding a chemical's persistence....
