Webinar: Exploring the Essential Ecotoxicology Tests for Environmental Risk Assessment
Understanding the environmental impact of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and crop protection products is a critical component of regulatory compliance and product stewardship. This webinar will explore the fundamental ecotoxicology tests—algal growth inhibition, Daphnia immobilization, and fish acute toxicity—which serve as cornerstones in the environmental risk assessment and registration process. These tests provide key data on the potential hazards posed to aquatic ecosystems, enabling regulators and stakeholders to evaluate a substance’s environmental profile.
During this AGRO Lunch & Learn webinar, Smithers expert Maegan Teets will discuss the scientific principles underpinning these assays, their role in hazard classification, and their integration into global regulatory frameworks such as REACH, US EPA, JMAFF and EFSA.
Attendees will gain insights into how robust test data supports risk mitigation strategies, fosters sustainable product development, and ensures successful regulatory submissions. Join us to deepen your understanding of how these pivotal tests drive environmental protection while enabling innovation in chemical management.
