Environmental Toxicology

Integrated environmental toxicology solutions for sustainable practices and risk assessment

img

Environmental toxicity studies play a critical role in understanding the potential risks and hazards associated with various compounds. They also facilitate protection and preservation of ecosystems, promote sustainable practices, and safeguard human and environmental health. Ecotoxicology is covered under legislation including OECD, OCSPP/OPPTS, EPA, ECHA, CIB-RC (India) and ISO guidelines.

At Aragen, we provide a comprehensive range of environmental toxicology and ecotoxicology studies to determine threshold toxicity concentrations of a range of test compounds during early discovery and regulatory development stage. Our environmental toxicology team provides integrated ecotoxicity and environmental risk assessment services to support regulatory and research programmes. Using a range of ecotoxicology and analytical chemistry techniques, we conduct studies across multiple test species to address diverse project requirements. Our capabilities support environmental risk assessment and regulatory data generation, while our scientists work with clients to develop study designs tailored to programme objectives and applicable regulatory requirements.

Aquatic

Comprehensive aquatic ecotoxicology data plays a vital role in Environmental Risk/Impact Assessments (ERA and EIA). Aragen provides a diverse range of aquatic ecotoxicology tests, encompassing the following:

Currently offered studies:

  • Growth Inhibition Test (Algae: OECD-201, Lemna: OECD -221)
  • Acute Immobilisation Test (Daphnia magna: OECD-202, Chironomus: OECD-235)
  • Fish, Acute Toxicity Test (Guppy, Common carp, Rainbow trout, Zebrafish: OECD-203)
Terrestrial

The presence of a wide variety of terrestrial organisms, including plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates, both living in and on the soil, adds significant importance and complexity to the hazard assessment of a chemical in a terrestrial environment.

Currently offered studies:

  • Avian (Dietary /Acute Oral Toxicity: OECD-205/223)
  • Earthworm (Acute Toxicity: OECD-207, Reproduction: OECD-222)
  • Earthworm Subchronic Toxicity Test (OCSPP-850.3100)
  • Honeybee Acute Toxicity (Oral: OECD-213, Contact: OECD-214)
  • Nitrogen Transformation Test (Soil Microorganisms: OECD-216)
  • Carbon Transformation Test (Soil Microorganisms: OECD-217)
