Chronic Species Sensitivity Data from the EnviroTox Database

Chronic toxicity records (NOEC/NOEL) from the EnviroTox database 2.0.0 Connors KA, Beasley A, Barron MG, Belanger SE, Bonnell M, Brill JL, de Zwart D, Kienzler A, Krailler J, Otter R, Phillips JL, Embry MR (2019). “Creation of a Curated Aquatic Toxicology Database: EnviroTox.” Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 38(5), 1062–1073. doi:10.1002/etc.4382 . , aggregated to one geometric mean concentration per species per chemical.

Usage

envirotox_chronic

Format

A tibble with 1,721 rows and 5 columns:

Chemical: Chemical name (chr).
Conc: Geometric mean concentration in micrograms per litre (dbl).
Species: Latin species name (chr).
Group: Taxonomic group of species (chr).
Yanagihara24: Whether the chemical meets the criteria of Yanagihara et al. (2024) (lgl).

Details

The data are aggregated following the code provided by Yanagihara M, Hiki K, Iwasaki Y (2024). “Which distribution to choose for deriving a species sensitivity distribution? Implications from analysis of acute and chronic ecotoxicity data.” Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 278, 116379. doi:10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116379 . with three exceptions: the dataset also includes chemicals with (1) a bimodality coefficient > 0.555, (2) between six and nine species, and (3) two trophic groups.

The logical column Yanagihara24 indicates whether a chemical meets the criteria used by Yanagihara et al. (2024): bimodality coefficient <= 0.555, at least 10 species, and at least three trophic groups.

See envirotox_chemical for the corresponding CAS Registry Numbers, and envirotox_data for the complete list dataset.
