It is a fundamental property in recent regulations, such as the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use or the Globally Harmonized System for classification, labelling and packaging. These new regulations consider the possibility of reducing or waiving animal tests using alternative methods, such as in silico methods. This study assessed and validated the CAESAR predictive model for BCF in fish. SN - 1752-153X UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1752-153X-4-S1-S1 DO - 10.1186/1752-153X-4-S1-S1 ID - Lombardo2010 ER -
