Case study on the Use of Integrated Approaches for Testing and Assessment (IATA) for Bioaccumulation

  • Publication Date :
  • Publication Type : Journal Article
  • Author(s) : OECD

An OECD IATA case study on Bioaccumulation was developed by the Health and Environmental Sciences Institute (HESI), Canada, United Kingdom, United States, Business at OECD (BIAC) was recently released as part of the 2023 review cycle of the IATA Case Studies Project. This IATA combines decades of work and the most recent state of the science into a single document and approach that can be adapted to various problem contexts and data types.

  • The Bioaccumulation IATA provides a systematic and transparent weight of evidence approach to aid evaluators in the collection, generation, evaluation, and integration of multiple lines of evidence for clear and transparent decision-making within defined problem contexts.
  • Three illustrative case studies representing both data poor and data rich chemicals are presented
  • We hope that this IATA methodology will spark the development of additional examples and serve as a guide for bioaccumulation assessments as the science and regulatory needs evolve.

If you would like additional information on the IATA or are interested in working through case studies using the approach, please contact Michelle Embry (membry@hesiglobal.org).
