Presentation at the International Council of Chemical Associations Long-Range Research Initiative (ICCA-LRI) Workshop June 2018
Description:
A simplistic approach to using in vitro bioactivity data as a POD appears to be a conservative estimate greater than 90% of the time for 448 chemicals. When combined with high-throughput exposure estimates, this approach provides a reasonable basis for risk-based prioritization and screening level risk assessments. Specific types of chemicals may be currently outside the domain of applicability due to assay limitations, e.g., organophosphate insecticides: how do we identify these in the future? Additional research to include expanded and improved high-throughput toxicokinetics and in vitro disposition kinetics may help improve POD-NAM estimates.
