Release of a guidance document for the use of the OECD (Q)SAR Application Toolbox

27-Feb-2009

The Guidance Document for using the OECD (Q)SAR Application Toolbox to develop chemical categories according to the OECD Guidance on Grouping of Chemicals is now available. The (Q)SAR Application Toolbox is a software application intended to be used by governments, industry and other stakeholders to fill gaps in (eco)toxicity data needed for assessing the hazards of chemicals. This new document specifically provides guidance on how to use the Toolbox to build chemical categories and fill data gaps by read-across or trend analysis according to the OECD Guidance on Grouping of Chemicals.

Data analysis of the identification of correlations between polymer characteristics and potential for health or ecotoxicological concern

30-Jan-2009

This document contains an analysis of data on 205 polymers to identify correlations between polymer characteristics and the potential for health or ecotoxicological concern. (Note: while the term “concern” is used in this report, the analysis is based on the intrinsic properties of the polymers and not exposure or risk.)
