Adverse outcome pathways: A conceptual framework to support ecotoxicology research and risk assessment

TL;DR: A framework designed for this purpose, the adverse outcome pathway (AOP), is discussed, a conceptual construct that portrays existing knowledge concerning the linkage between a direct molecular initiating event and an adverse outcome at a biological level of organization relevant to risk assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acid volatile sulfide predicts the acute toxicity of cadmium and nickel in sediments

TL;DR: In this article, the molar concentration of acid volatile sulfide (AVS) in the sediment is defined as the threshold below which these metals cease to exhibit an acute toxicity in freshwater and marine sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fifteen Years after Wingspread -Environmental Endocrine Disrupters and Human and Wildlife Health : Where We are Today and Where We Need to Go

TL;DR: This review addresses what have the authors learned about the effects of EDCs on fish, wildlife, and human health, discusses representative animal studies on (anti)androgens, estrogens and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin-like chemicals, and evaluates regulatory proposals being considered for screening and testing these chemicals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Description and evaluation of a short‐term reproduction test with the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas)

TL;DR: The utility of this short‐term reproduction test with the fathead minnow is demonstrated for identifying chemicals that exert reproductive toxicity through alterations in endocrine systems controlled by estrogens and androgens.
