| Abstract |
The overall objective of this project is to provide the Agency with the technical basis for estimating the toxicity and environmental behavior of organic chemicals from molecular structure. The project is directed toward the evaluation of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) for use by EPA Program Offices and toward the development of new data and QSAR methods to extend the technique to meet Agency needs. Specifically, the objective of the Structure-Activity Project is to develop methods to predict the toxicity, persistence, and treatability of large numbers of untested chemicals using QSAR based on structural, chemical, and biological properties of representative reference data bases. Development of QSAR is being tailored for use in the (1) initial screening of chemicals under TSCA, (2) development of risk assessment strategies, (3) prioritization of chemicals for Water Quality Criteria development, and (4) the optimization of national monitoring programs for toxic chemicals. This report summarizes the progress during the first six months of the project. The report provides a literature review and perspective for applying structure-activity methods to aquatic toxicity of industrial chemicals. Experimental work centered on developing methods for estimating molecular descriptors such as log P and connectivity indexes and on the development of a systematic structure-activity data base for aquatic toxicity. A new program for entering structures into a computer and calculating connectivity indexes is discussed. A general model for predicting 96 hour LC50 for narcotic chemicals is presented. |
