OECD 219: Sediment-water chironomid toxicity (spiked water)

Study

Toxicology, Ecotoxicology, Aquatic

The OECD 219: Sediment-water Chironomid Toxicity Using Spiked Water Study assesses the effect of a chemical on sediment-dwelling chironomus (midge) larvae. Larvae are deposited into separate sediment-water systems, and the water is spiked with a test chemical. Larval emergence, development and survival are observed for up to 28 days (C. riparius, C. yoshimatsui) or 65 days (C. tentans). Statistical regressions are then run to determine the relationship between a chemical and any reduction in chironomid emergence and development.

About our nonclinical animal research models: We provide the utmost care for our research animals and actively pursue advances in animal welfare. As well as ensuring the highest scientific, ethical and regulatory standards, selection of appropriate animal research models for development research is critical to developing safe and effective treatments, devices and products that protect and save lives. Just as we have ethical committee oversight for human trials, we have ethical committees overseeing all aspects of our global animal care and use programs. All of our core, nonclinical facilities are accredited by AAALAC. Learn more about our commitment to replacing, reusing and refining nonclinical research models.
