QSARs for Prioritizing PBT Substances to Promote Pollution Prevention

Abstract: The selection of Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic (PBT) substances constitutes an important task in the possible regulation of chemicals. Due to the shortage of experimental data, Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) estimates for these endpoints appear as an attractive alternative. In the present study, biodegradation, bioaccumulation and aquatic toxicity estimates were obtained using the BioWin, BCFWin and ECOSAR modules of the EPI suite. Partial order theory was used to rank QSAR-based P… Show more

“…3 show that although the quadratic equation fits better than the linear one, it is still not satisfactory enough. Polynomial equations were also utilized to investigate the relationships between bioconcentration factors (logBCF) and logK ow , and preferable results were gained by using quartic equations [21,22] . As toxicities of narcotic compounds are mainly determined by their bioconcentration factors (BCF), with other kinds of effects omitted, the relationship between toxicities and logK ow could be expressed by quartic equation: A very high value 0.996 is achieved for r 2 adj of eq.…”

“…Due to shortage of experimental data, QSAR estimates for the selection of persistent, bio-accumulative and toxic (PBT) substances appear as an attractive alternative [4]. It has been argued that all new chemicals should be assessed using a consistent and transparent methodology that uses chemical property data derived from QSARs, or experimental determination when possible and applies evaluative or regio-specific environmental models [5].…”

“…The theory of partial order ranking is presented elsewhere [9] and its application in relation to QSAR is presented in previous papers [10][11][12][13]. In brief, Partial Order Ranking is a simple principle, which a priori includes "≤" as the only mathematical relation.…”
