Environmental contaminants with common mode of toxic action (MOA) are generally expected to have similar structures andyor physico-chemical properties. Calculated descriptors of lipophilic, electronic and steric properties were used to cluster 115 test chemicals by MOA into nine different toxicant c
## Abstract Environmental risk assessment of chemicals is mostly based on the results of standardized toxicity tests. To obtain environmental quality criteria, extrapolation factors are used that depend on the amount and quality of available data. These extrapolation factors do not, however, take i
In the field of aquatic toxicology, quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) have developed as scientifically credible models for predicting the toxicity of chemicals when little or no empirical data are available. In recent years, there has been an evolution of QSAR development and app
