The following brief account identifies only major groups of herbicides not mentioned elsewhere in the text, and is far from comprehensive. Their mode of action is only dealt with in a superficial way. From an ecotoxicological point of view, there has not been as much concern about their sublethal effects upon plants as there has been in the case of mammals, and there has not been a strong interest in the development of biomarker assays to establish their effects. The major concern has been whether weeds, or nontarget plants, have been removed following herbicide application—a rather easy matter to establish as plants are fairly sedentary. For a more detailed account of herbicide chemistry and biochemistry, see Hassall (1990). [Pg.258]

Sometimes for some very potent pollutants analytical methodologies provide limits of detection (LODs) higher than the concentrations that cause effects, as derived from ecotoxicological studies. Therefore efforts in the field of analytical chemistry (see Sect. 2) are focused on making available the necessary analytical capabilities to detect pollutants at the required low levels found in the environment. This was the case of pharmaceuticals, illicit drugs, perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), sunscreens/UV filters, etc. few years ago. However, this list is likely to increase with new family candidates. [Pg.42]

Since one of the main aims of green chemistry is to reduce the use and/or production of toxic chemicals, it is important for practitioners to be able to make informed decisions about the inherent toxicity of a compound. Where sufficient ecotoxicological data have been generated and risk assessments performed, this can allow for the selection of less toxic options, such as in the case of some surfactants and solvents [94, 95]. When toxicological data are limited, for example, in the development of new pharmaceuticals (see Section 15.4.3) or other consumer products, there are several ways in which information available from other chemicals may be helpful to estimate effect measures for a compound where data are lacking. Of these, the most likely to be used are the structure-activity relationships (SARs, or QSARs when they are quantitative). These relationships are also used to predict chemical properties and behavior (see Chapter 16). There often are similarities in toxicity between chemicals that have related structures and/or functional subunits. Such relationships can be seen in the progressive change in toxicity and are described in QSARs. When several chemicals with similar structures have been tested, the measured effects can be mathematically related to chemical structure [96-98] and QSAR models used to predict the toxicity of substances with similar structure. Any new chemicals that have similar structures can then be assumed to elicit similar responses. [Pg.422]
