Accordingly, the concerned regulating authorities are those involved in the control of chemicals for industrial use, drugs, food, the environment, scientific technology, as well as communications, etc. As of August 2012, however, no specific laws that regulate the safety evaluation of MNs exist. Each of the major MN producers, such as EU, the United States, and Japan, is separately going through the process of discussing the methodology of systematically evaluating and regulating MNs. The MN producers have started to organize independent consortiums or working groups to discuss the safety assessments of the products. In this context, we investigated the activities towards the setting of regulations in each country, and clarified the differences between their directions. We also introduce reference materials that have been published as a general scheme for safety evaluation.","PeriodicalId":14585,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of environmental toxicology","volume":"34 1","pages":"17-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78918303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mean 96-h median lethal concentration values of Sea-Nine 211 (based on the actual toxicant concentrations) for red sea bream and mummichog were 5.1 and 4.7 μg/L, respectively. Early life-stage toxicity (ELS) testing using mummichog embryos revealed that growth was the most susceptible endpoint, and the lowest and no-observed effect concentrations based on the actual toxicant concentrations were 2.8 and 1.1 μg/L, respectively. Thus, the maximum acceptable toxicant concentration was determined to be 1.8 μg/L. Using the calculated ACR value (4.7:1.8) for the mummichog, the chronic toxicity for red sea bream was predicted to be 2.0 μg/L. Considering the concentrations of Sea-Nine 211 currently detected in the coastal waters of Japan, we consider risk from using this biocide to the fish population to be low. In addition, SeaNine 211 exhibited acetylcholinesterase-inhibiting activity, but did not induce morphological abnormality in the ELS test. Accumulation of the toxicant in the body of mummichog may not be enough to cause morphological abnormality because of its rapid degradation.","PeriodicalId":14585,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of environmental toxicology","volume":"23 19 1","pages":"105-116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78909456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
