- Abstract
The article presents a study conducted to determine the toxicity of twenty narcotic chemicals in batch mode with an assay protocol using the Shkl strain. The quality of the resultant toxicity data was evaluated by the development of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs). While the primary function of ecotoxicity QSARs is to predict toxicity, QSARs can also be used to provide assurance of the quality of experimental data. After confirming data quality, the appropriateness of this strain as a surrogate for wastewater treatment facilities was examined with the toxicity data of the Shkl assay being compared with data of two other assays frequently used for assessing wastewater toxicity.
