CRD Live Online Seminar: Ecotoxicology Endocrine Disruption GB Assessment of Chemical Active Substances (Pesticides/Biocides)

The seminar will focus on the environmental (ecotoxicological) endocrine disruption assessment and will present the current evaluation approach used by HSE (CRD) for pesticide and biocide GB applications.

The event will be delivered by HSE regulatory specialists and will help attendees improve the quality of their submissions and understand how these will be reviewed by the GB regulator.

The course will cover:

• Introduction to Endocrine disruption (ecotoxicology) assessment scheme for biocide/pesticide active substances

–          General overview of approach and studies

• Aquatic organism endocrine disruption assessment

–          Consideration of EATS (Estrogen, Androgen, Thyroid, Steriodogenesis) modalities, approach, studies and mode of action analysis

• Use of toxicology data in ecotoxicology endocrine disruption assessment

–          Implications of positive ED conclusions from the human health assessment on ecotoxicology assessment

• Deficient endocrine disruption ecotoxicology datasets

–          Examples of when further testing is required
