Comparative Dietary Toxicities of Pesticides to Birds
Author: Robert G. Heath

ISBN:
Category : Birds
Languages : en
Pages : 57
Book Description
This report presents measurements of the lethal dietary toxicity of 89 pesticidal chemicals to young bobwhites, Japanes quail, ring-necked pheasants, and mallards. Toxicity is expressed as the median lethal concentration (LC50) of active chemical in a 5-day ad libitum diet. LC50's and associated statistics are derived by methods of probit analysis. Endrin consistently was the most toxic chemical while aldrin and dieldrin were among the six most toxic chemicals of those tested on all species. In general, organophosphates were less toxic than aldrin or dieldrin, and herbicides were of a low order of toxicity. There were obvious inconsistencies in the relative sensitivity of the four species to various chemicals.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1040
Book Description
Discussing the interpretation of tissue concentrations of contaminants in wildlife, this updated edition of a bestseller draws on current scientific research and includes new chapters and greater emphasis on aquatic organisms. Each chapter provides a summary and review of a specific chemical along with direction on research methods and the interpretation of conflicting or insufficient data. Chapters include a comprehensive history of contaminant interpretation in wildlife and fish, the use of tissue residues in ecological risk assessment, and detailed coverage of all bioaccumulative contaminants and their physiologic affects.

Development of an Avian Dietary LC50 Toxicity Test for Potential Use Under the Toxic Substances Control Act
Author: LW. Turner
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Avian dietary toxicity testing
Languages : en
Pages : 7
Book Description
The Toxic Substances Control Act (PL 94-469) directs the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to produce standards for the development of adequate data regarding the effect of chemical substances and mixtures on health and the environment. The agency is developing test standards to satisfy this charge. This paper describes part of the process by which a test standard is developed, using the avian dietary median lethal concentration (LC50) toxicity test as an example. The history of avian dietary toxicity test methods is briefly described, along with the kinds of modifications in methods made by various users. The rationale for the selection of specific test conditions and procedures is discussed with respect to the use of the test results by a regulatory agency. Selection criteria for several controversial test parameters are presented as examples.
