Download or read book Comparative Dietary Toxicities of Pesticides to Birds written by Robert G. Heath and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents measurements of the lethal dietary toxicity of 89 pesticidal chemicals to young bobwhites, Japanes quail, ring-necked pheasants, and mallards. Toxicity is expressed as the median lethal concentration (LC50) of active chemical in a 5-day ad libitum diet. LC50's and associated statistics are derived by methods of probit analysis. Endrin consistently was the most toxic chemical while aldrin and dieldrin were among the six most toxic chemicals of those tested on all species. In general, organophosphates were less toxic than aldrin or dieldrin, and herbicides were of a low order of toxicity. There were obvious inconsistencies in the relative sensitivity of the four species to various chemicals.

Download or read book Development of an Avian Dietary LC50 Toxicity Test for Potential Use Under the Toxic Substances Control Act written by LW. Turner and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Toxic Substances Control Act (PL 94-469) directs the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to produce standards for the development of adequate data regarding the effect of chemical substances and mixtures on health and the environment. The agency is developing test standards to satisfy this charge. This paper describes part of the process by which a test standard is developed, using the avian dietary median lethal concentration (LC50) toxicity test as an example. The history of avian dietary toxicity test methods is briefly described, along with the kinds of modifications in methods made by various users. The rationale for the selection of specific test conditions and procedures is discussed with respect to the use of the test results by a regulatory agency. Selection criteria for several controversial test parameters are presented as examples.

Book excerpt: This new edition of The Dictionary and Substances and their Effects (DOSE) supersedes the renowned 1st edition. The 1st edition has been completely revised, updated and extended with all the latest significant data on the chemicals known to have adverse effects on lifeforms or the environment. The new edition is a must for all those who need easy access to a single source of the latest essential and fully referenced data on chemicals which are known to have significant toxic or environmental effects. The web database is ideal for targeted searches and customised data retrieval. The 2nd edition of DOSE includes new toxicity, environmental and regulatory data from the world's literature, presented in concise summaries. These new data are essential for the accurate assessment of the risks associated with the use and disposal of chemicals. Data on over 100 chemicals new to this edition have been added, including endocrine disruptors, food carcinogens, pesticides and compounds studied by IARC and NTP. All of the 4000 chemicals contained in the 1st edition have been reviewed. New and updated information for these chemicals includes: * occupational exposure limits for 6 countries * recent toxicity and ecotoxicity data * results of new carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and environmental fate studies * the latest regulatory requirements DOSE 2nd edition comprises 7 hardcover volumes covering over 4000 chemicals alphabetically, and includes indexes of substance names and synonyms, molecular formulae, and CAS Registry Numbers; glossaries of medical terms and Latin to English organism names; an abbreviations listing and a comprehensive guide to the types of data and their origin. DOSE is also available via Knovel's Engineering and Scientific Online Reference, located at www.knovel.com.

Download or read book Handbook of Chemical Risk Assessment written by Ronald Eisler and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2000-04-12 with total page 792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written over a period of 17 years, the Handbook of Chemical Risk Assessment exhaustively examines and analyzes the world literature on chemicals entering the environment from human activities. The three volumes cover chemicals recommended by environmental specialists of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other resource managers. The choices were based on the real or potential impact of each contaminant and on the knowledge available about their mitigation. The information for each chemical includes source and use; physical, chemical, and metabolic properties; concentrations in field collections of abiotic materials and living organisms; deficiency effects; lethal and sublethal effects; and proposed regulatory criteria for the protection of human health and sensitive natural resources. Each chapter selectively reviews and synthesizes the technical literature on a specific priority contaminant and its effects on the environment. Successful risk assessment relies heavily on extensive and well-documented databases. They often include too much - or too little - information about too many chemicals. Of the hundreds of thousands of chemicals discharged into the environment, only a small number have sufficient information to attempt preliminary risk assessment. Sold only as a three volume set, the Handbook of Chemical Risk Assessment provides you with the exact amount of information you need in a single resource.

Even better, our version of the IRIS database is available at a significant savings over the government's version, and features powerful searching capabilities, printing and exporting features, and automatic installation. The most comprehensive data available for hazardous substances... IRIS (Integrated Risk Information System) features comprehensive information for about 500 hazardous regulated and unregulated substances. This number increases every three months with the addition of new files and revisions to existing information. Unlike other databases that provide summaries or abbreviated data, IRIS gives you extensive textual and numeric information complete with EPA contacts and full references. IRIS is the database to use to obtain the critical toxicity, regulatory, risk assessment, medical, chemical and physical property data you'll need for risk evaluations, regulatory decisions, and other uses. And with its quarterly updates, your information never grows old. Chronic health hazard assessments include reference doses for chronic oral exposure and inhalation exposure. Carcinogenicity assessment data includes evidence for classification as to human carcinogenicity; quantitative estimates of carcinogenic risk from oral exposure and inhalation exposure; and EPA documentation, review, and contacts. Health hazards assessments provide information from EPA's Drinking Water Health Advisories (including health advisories for children and adults, organoleptic properties, taste and odor, analytical methods for detection in drinking water, water treatment, documentation and EPA contacts). What Does IRIS Provide? Complete U.S. EPA regulatory action data is presented for: Clean Air Act (including NAAQS, NESHAP, and NSPS) Safe Drinking Water Act (including MCLGs, MCLs, and SMCLs) Clean Water Act Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) (including Appendix 9) Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) (including Superfund data) Reportable quantity data for the release of substances into the environment IRIS's supplementary data includes important information such as: Acute health hazard information (e.g., toxicity, medical conditions) Physical and chemical properties (e.g., formula, vapor pressure, flash point) References and synonyms IRIS Chemical Information Database is one of the most important reference sources available for toxicologists, chemists, chemical engineers, ecologists, environmental scientists, regulators, industrial hygienists, occupational physicians, government administrators, emergency response personnel, hazardous material response teams, lawyers, union representatives, insurance companies, commercial realtors and lending institutions, property pre-acquisition auditors, analytical laboratories, and libraries.
