Terrestrial wildlife, toxicological

The ECOTOXicology database is a source for locating single chemical toxicity data for aquatic life, terrestrial plants and wildlife. ECOTOX integrates three toxicology effects databases AQUIRE (aquatic life), PHYTOTOX (terrestrial plants), and TERRETOX (terrestrial wildlife). These databases were created by the U.S. EPA, Office of Research and Development (ORD), and the National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laborator) (NHEERL), Mid-Continent Ecology Division... 

Each tier employs different test species. Data on hazards to nontarget organisms proposed in Subdivision M cover the four areas terrestrial wildlife, aquatic animals, plants, and beneficial insects. The testing follows a tier scheme analogous to that for toxicological tests. Tier I represents the first level hazard test and Tier II consists of environmental fate studies that will be required only if indicated by the outcome of Tier I tests.
