<title><![CDATA[Guidance Document On Developing And Assessing Adverse Outcome Pathways]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[This guidance document intends to provide an insight into which pieces of information that are necessary to identify and document an adverse outcome pathway (AOP) and how to present them. The AOP concept has been developed as a means of providing transparent mechanistic justification and weight-of-evidence to reduce uncertainty in the predictions for complex toxicological endpoints. ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Guidance Document for Exposure Assessment Based on Environmental Monitoring]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[This document provides guidance for performing an exposure assessment based on environmental monitoring data.It covers topics such as environmental levels and distribution of contaminants, ways of using monitoring data in exposure assessments for differing purposes, the collection of data, quality of monitoring activities, as well as several examples of data compilation in member countries and their use in exposure assessment.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Updated training material for the third generation of the QSAR Toolbox is now available. ]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[30/01/2013 – Recently the OECD release the third generation of the QSAR Toolbox. The existing tutorials and videos have now been updated according to the new version of the QSAR Toolbox to help the user building categories that are mechanistically and structurally robust to maximise success in filling data gaps for the endpoint of interest. Mid next year the OECD is planning to release additional training material. ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Human Health Benchmarks for Pesticides (EPA HHBP) now searchable on eChemPortal ]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[US Environmental Protection Agency derived the Human health benchmarks for pesticides by applying the health effects data from pesticide registrations to the typical methods used for developing drinking water health advisories. It was developed to enable states, water systems and the public to better determine whether the detection of a pesticide in drinking water or source waters for drinking water may indicate a potential health risk.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Pesticide Programs’ Aquatic Life Benchmarks now available on eChemPortal]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[The aquatic life benchmarks (for freshwater species) are based on toxicity values reviewed by EPA and used in the Agency's most recent risk assessments developed as part of the decision-making process for pesticide registration. Each Aquatic Life Benchmark is based on the most sensitive, scientifically acceptable toxicity endpoint available for a given taxon of all scientifically acceptable toxicity data available to EPA.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for the OECD  Clearing House on New Chemicals Parallel Process]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[This document provides detailed guidance for both new chemical notifiers and jurisdictions who wish to participate in  a “parallel process” which enables a company to declare to all affected countries at the time of first notification that it wants them to cooperate and share information.  The hazard assessment is developed by the ‘lead’ jurisdiction and then utilized by other participating jurisdictions.]]></description>
