Nontest Methods to Predict Acute Toxicity: State of the Art for Applications of In Silico Methods

Abstract:
The assessment of acute toxicity of chemicals by in silico methods is actually done by two methodologies, read-across and QSAR. The two approaches are strongly based on the similarity between the chemical for which a risk assessment is required and the reference chemical(s) for which the experimental data are known. Here, we describe the two methodologies with some main publications as illustrations and the in silico data associated with acute toxicity endpoints (ECHA, REACH) accessible via eChemPortal.

Methods of Sterilization I: Physical Methods
Steam sterilization uses non-toxic, low-cost moist heat in the form of saturated steam under pressure, which is fast, microbicidal, and sporicidal, and quickly warms and penetrates fabrics. Autoclaves, or steam sterilizers, expose each item to direct steam contact for a predetermined time at the necessary...
