Standartox

Standartox is a database and tool facilitating the retrieval of ecotoxicological test data. It is based on the EPA ECOTOX data base as well as on data from several other chemical databases and allows users to filter and aggregate ecotoxicological test data in an easy way. It can either be accessed via a web-app or via the R-package standartox. Ecotoxicological test data is used in environmental risk assessment to calculate effect measures such as TU - Toxic Units or SSD - Species Sensitivity Distributions to asses environmental toxicity of chemicals.

The project lives in two repositories:
