## Abstract Acute toxicity data from the New Chemicals Database of the European Chemicals Bureau were compared for fish, __Daphnia__, and algae. The algal growth inhibition test was the most sensitive. Correlation between fish and __Daphnia__ toxicity values was better than the correlation with alg
170 acute toxicity determinations, carried out in rats, mice, and guinea pigs after oral and parenteral administration during the past 5 years, using 5 c~/5 9 animals per dose, were evaluated with respect to the possibility of a reduction of animals necessary for obtaining LDs0 values with limits of
