TL;DR: Concern was expressed about direct application of the TEF/total toxic equivalency (TEQ) approach to abiotic matrices, such as soil, sediment, etc., for direct application in human risk assessment as the present TEF scheme and TEQ methodology are primarily intended for estimating exposure and risks via oral ingestion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zebrafish as a model vertebrate for investigating chemical toxicity.
TL;DR: An overview of the rapidly increasing use of zebrafish in toxicology is presented, both in identifying endpoints of toxicity and in elucidating mechanisms of toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental and Reproductive Toxicity of Dioxins and Related Compounds: Cross-Species Comparisons
TL;DR: Decreases in spermatogenesis and the ability to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term are the most sensitive signs of reproductive toxicity in male and female mammals, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
In utero and lactational exposure of male rats to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. 1. Effects on androgenic status.
TL;DR: When administered in overtly toxic doses to postpubescent rats, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) produces a variety of adverse effects on the male reproductive system including a decrease in plasma androgen concentrations as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
In utero and lactational exposure of male rats to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. 3. Effects on spermatogenesis and reproductive capability.

TL;DR: Results are not inconsistent with the pronounced reductions in daily sperm production and cauda epididymal sperm reserves caused by perinatal TCDD exposure since rats produce and ejaculate far more sperm than are required for normal fertility.
