OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 2 Test No. 210: Fish, Early-life Stage Toxicity Test


Book Description

The test method described in this Test Guideline, is intended to define the lethal and sub-lethal effects of chemicals on the early life stages of the species tested. The early-life stages of fish are exposed to five concentrations of the test ...




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4 Test No. 420: Acute Oral Toxicity - Fixed Dose Procedure


Book Description

A principle of the method is that in the main study only moderately toxic doses are used, and the administration of doses that are expected to be lethal should be avoided. This Guideline is intended primarily for use with rat. Groups of animals of a ...
