Be Prepared To Defend Your Product

The testing pressures on the chemical industry today are perhaps more significant than ever before. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) much-publicized voluntary chemical testing initiatives encourage or, more bluntly, subtly compel chemical testing. The business implications of chemical testing for both chemical producers and their downstream users are great. Chemical ...

TSCA and the Future of Chemical Regulation (PDF)

Congress enacted the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) in 1976. 1 Despite the passage of over two decades, its core provisions have not been substantively amended. 2 Some believe change is needed, even essential. Indeed, the question of whether TSCA is fundamentally flawed or whether EPA ’ s implementation of it is lacking, has been the subject of debate for years. While much has changed over ...

Comparative study of biodegradability prediction of chemicals using decision trees, functional trees, and logistic regression

Biodegradation is the principal environmental dissipation process of chemicals. As such it is a dominant factor determining the persistence and fate of organic chemicals in the environment, and is therefore of critical importance to chemical management and regulation. In this study, we developed in silico methods assessing biodegradability based on a large heterogeneous set of 825 organic ...

Avoidance and reproduction tests with the predatory mite Hypoaspis aculeifer: Effects of different chemical substances

Few toxicity data exist in the literature on the toxicity of chemicals to the predatory mite Hypoaspis aculeifer, but no information is available on its avoidance response. In order to assess the relevance of the avoidance behavior of H. aculeifer and the relative sensitivity of the mite in comparison with other invertebrates, avoidance and reproduction tests were conducted with seven ...
