6 BMF : Dietary Bioaccumulation Tests Lab Test OECD 305 Guidelines for Bioaccumulation Testing Less time consuming Less expensive Less animals Less difficult Informs on main exposure route for many chemicals Easier to extrapolate to other consumer organisms Does not generate a BCF for regulatory use

7 Objectives Develop a toxicokinetic modelling framework for the interpretation of OECD 305 dietary bioaccumulation test results. Apply & test methods for deriving bioaccumulation metrics (including the BCF) from the results of OECD 305 dietary bioaccumulation tests. Develop methods for assessing bioaccumulation exposure pathways for aquatic and terrestrial biota from the results of dietary bioaccumulation tests and field studies. Investigate whether dietary bioaccumulation tests can inform on the potential of substances to cause adverse perturbations on individuals and populations resulting from uptake and storage of the chemical regardless of trophic magnification.

13 Rationale More realistic, not overly complex Derives more information from test results without modifying the test Requirements: i. remove guts from fish (option included in OECD 305) ii. Use non-metabolizable reference chemicals (included in OECD 305) No additional data are needed. Derives both somatic and intestinal biotransformation rates Better insights into the internal dynamics of the substance in the fish Can derive a BCF

Include in-vitro biotransformation assay results in the ADME calculator 4. Develop a toxicokinetic framework that can use and interpret results from in-vivo bioconcentration and dietary bioaccumulation tests, in-vitro bioassays, field observations (e.g. TMF) and phys-chemical properties (e.g. Kow) to develop an internally consistent bioaccumulation profile with outputs in terms of BCF, BMF, TMF, exposure pathways, potential for adverse outcomes.
