Scientific Opinion on Evaluation of the Toxicological Relevance of Pesticide Metabolites for Dietary Risk Assessment [PDF]
<p>The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) asked the Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues (PPR) to develop an opinion on approaches to evaluate the toxicological relevance of metabolites and degradates of pesticide active ...

Neuroactive drugs and other pharmaceuticals found in blood plasma of wild European fish
To gain a better understanding of which pharmaceuticals could pose a risk to fish, 94 pharmaceuticals representing 23 classes were analyzed in blood plasma from wild bream, chub, and roach captured at 18 sites in Germany, the Czech Republic and the UK ...

Addressing a bottle neck for regulation of nanomaterials: quantitative read-across (Nano-QRA) algorithm for cases when only limited data is available [PDF]
The number and variety of engineered nanoparticles have been growing exponentially. Since the experimental evaluation of nanoparticles causing public health concerns is expensive and time consuming, efficient computational tools are amongst the most ...

Transcriptomics in Toxicogenomics, Part III: Data Modelling for Risk Assessment
Transcriptomics data are relevant to address a number of challenges in Toxicogenomics (TGx). After careful planning of exposure conditions and data preprocessing, the TGx data can be used in predictive toxicology, where more advanced modelling techniques

Read-Across of 90-day Rat Oral Repeated-Dose Toxicity: A Case Study for Selected n-Alkanols [PDF]
n-Alkanols provide an excellent example where a category-approach to read-across may be used to estimate the repeated-dose endpoint for a number of untested derivatives (target chemicals) using experimental data for tested derivatives (source chemicals).
