| Contents Notes | The ECETOC Aquatic Toxicity (EAT) database (ECETOC, 1993) has been updated, mainly from data published between 1992 and 2000, to include information on the toxicity of substances to aquatic species in fresh and saline waters. The principal quality criteria for acceptance of data were that test methods should be well described and the toxicant concentrations must be measured. On this basis, 178 (33%) of the 537 papers examined were found to be suitable for inclusion in the new database, and 359 publications were rejected. The new database (EAT 3), which contains more than 5450 entries on almost 600 chemicals, provides the most comprehensive compilation of highly reliable ecotoxicity data published in the scientific press in the period 1970 - 2000. |
