Abstract

As part of the OECD's Pesticide Programme, a Workshop on Avian Toxicity Testing was held in Pensacola, Florida, on 4-7 December 1994. It was jointly organised by the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) and the OECD. This Workshop report considers the fundamental reasons information about the toxicity of chemicals to birds is needed, and thereby identify the critical features which are essential for the tests used to generate this information;  evaluates the positive and negative features of existing test methods, and of proposed alternatives, against the required critical features;   develops proposals for the revision and development of OECD Test Guidelines for avian toxicity and avoidance tests, as appropriate; and develops a framework to govern the way these tests are requested and used in practice in risk assessment.

Abstract

Cette méthode fournit des informations sur les dangers pour la santé qui peuvent résulter d’une l’application sur les yeux d’une substance d’essai (solide ou liquide et d’aérosols). Cette Ligne directrice est utilisée préférablement avec des lapins albinos. La substance d’essai est appliquée en dose unique dans le sac conjonctif d’un œil. L’autre œil, non traité, servira de contrôle. L’essai initial emploie un lapin ; le niveau de dose dépend de la nature de la substance à tester. Un essai de confirmation doit être fait si un effet corrosif n’est pas observé lors de l’essai initial, la réponse irritante ou négative doit être confirmée en utilisant deux animaux supplémentaires. Il est recommandé que ce soit fait de manière séquentielle, un animal à la fois, plutôt que d’exposer les deux simultanément. La durée de l’observation doit être suffisante pour évaluer pleinement la magnitude et la réversibilité des effets observés. Les yeux doivent être observés 1, 24, 48 et 72 heures après l’application. Les scores d'irritation oculaire doivent être évalués en conjonction avec la nature et la sévérité des lésions et leur réversibilité ou leur absence de réversibilité. Les scores individuels ne livrent pas une valeur absolue des propriétés irritantes d’un matériau, celles-ci étant évaluées parallèlement à d’autres effets de la substance.

Abstract

This document provides guidance for the testing of substances, and mixtures, classed as “difficult to test” for the purposes of determining their aquatic toxicity. Whilst the guidance given is targeted towards tests described by the OECD Guidelines identified it may also be relevant to other tests. The guidance relates to the practical aspects of carrying out valid tests with “difficult” test substances and mixtures and presenting the results. The guidance is considered to reflect good practice but it is important to recognise that some test substances and mixtures will present specific scientific and technical issues that may fall outside its scope. This document is divided into five substantive sections covering guidance for carrying out a preliminary assessment of test substance stability; general considerations on selection of exposure regimes; development of media preparation and exposure systems; sampling of test media for analysis, and calculating and reporting test results.

Abstract

The OECD Secretariat received almost simultaneously three proposals for an OECD Test Guideline on Direct Phototransformation in Water, i.e. aqueous photolysis. The purpose of this Guidance Document is to situate these proposals in a broad context consisting of the basic concepts of photochemistry applicable to aqueous photolysis, the existing national guidelines and standards, and the results of a ring test held under the aegis of ECETOC.
