Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
In the framework of the multicentre evaluation of in vitro cytotoxicity (MEIC) programme, the first ten chemicals of the prescribed list were tested for acute toxicity in four standardized cyst-based aquatic invertebrate tests, consisting of two rotifer species (the estuarine Brachionus plicatilis and the freshwater Brachionus calyciflorus) and two crustacean species (the halophilic anostracan Artemia salina and the freshwater anostracan Streptocephalus proboscideus). Mortality was the test criterion and toxic effects, expressed as 24-hour LC50 values, were correlated with rodent and human acute oral toxicity data. Generally, a good correlation was obtained between any of the invertebrate tests and the rodent data. Likewise, the predictive screening potential of the aquatic invertebrate tests for acute oral toxicity in man was slightly better than the rat test for eight (excluding diazepam and digoxin) and nine (including diazepam, excluding digoxin) of the ten substances. The aquatic test systems however, appear to be more suitable for compounds soluble in water. |
