Objectives • Develop a toxicokinetic modelling framework for the interpretation of OECD 305 dietary bioaccumulation test results. • Apply & test methods for deriving bioaccumulation metrics (including the BCF) from the results of OECD 305 dietary bioaccumulation tests. • Develop methods for assessing bioaccumulation exposure pathways for aquatic and terrestrial biota from the results of dietary bioaccumulation tests and field studies. • Investigate whether dietary bioaccumulation tests can inform on the potential of substances to cause “adverse” perturbations on individuals and populations resulting from uptake and storage of the chemical regardless of trophic magnification.

Constraints • Framework should be applicable to OECD 305 type tests • Framework should not require significant extra effort and/or costs • Framework should not require additional data • Framework should support regulatory efforts • Framework should support B assessment in industry

Rationale • More realistic, not overly complex • Derives more information from test results without modifying the test Requirements: i. remove guts from fish (option included in OECD 305) ii. Use non-metabolizable reference chemicals (included in OECD 305) • No additional data are needed. • Derives both somatic and intestinal biotransformation rates • Better insights into the internal dynamics of the substance in the fish • Can derive a BCF

Testing of the Toxicokinetic Modelling Framework Methodology • Compiled OECD 305 (2012) dietary bioaccumulation test results for 186 test chemicals • Analyzed data using the ADME Calculator • Derived all rate constants with associated error, including k M (k BM ) & BCF • Compiled independent data on the BCF and k M of the test chemicals in fish using Arnot & Gobas (2006) data base and Episuite 4.11. • Compared derived & independent BCF and k M data
