To assess the impact of chemicals on an aquatic environment, toxicological data for three trophic levels are needed to address the chronic and acute toxicities. The use of non-testing methods, such as predictive computational models, was proposed to avoid or reduce the need for animal models and speed up the process when there are many substances to be tested. We developed predictive models for , , and fish for acute and chronic toxicities. The random forest machine learning approach gave the best results. The models gave good statistical quality for all endpoints. These models are freely available for use as individual models in the VEGA platform and for prioritization in JANUS software.
为了评估化学物质对水生环境的影响,需要有三个营养级别的毒理学数据来解决慢性和急性毒性问题。因此,人们提出了使用非测试方法,如预测计算模型,以避免或减少对动物模型的需求,并在需要测试的物质很多时加快这一过程。我们开发了用于急性和慢性毒性的鱼类、藻类和水蚤的预测模型。随机森林机器学习方法给出了最好的结果。这些模型对于所有终点都具有良好的统计质量。这些模型可作为 VEGA 平台中的单独模型免费使用,并可在 JANUS 软件中进行优先级排序。
