  1. ANALISIS EKOTOKSIKOLOGI Oleh Sudrajat FMIPA UNMUL 2010

  2. Experimental design for toxicity tests Integration of Freg. of response (i.e death) Percent mortality Looking for this area of response Log [X] Log [X] To save money while finding area of mean response use a two step process

  3. Step 1 – Screening test • Expose 5–10 organisms to 10x increasing [ ] for 24-96 hours • Trying to determine range in which median lethal concentration (LC50) will fall

  4. Screening test 0 100 % Responding [X] mg/L # dead none none some all RIP all RIP 30% 100% 100% 0 0 Concen. 10-3 10-2 10-1 100 101

  5. Step 2 – Definitive test From previous results low = 10-2 = 0.01 mg/L high = 100 = 1.0 mg/L • Run test using logarithmic scale of concentrations because organisms usually respond logarithmically to toxicants • Usually use at least 5 concentrations + control • Control – checks toxicity of dilution water, health of test organisms, stress level of testing environment (test chambers, lighting, temperature, etc) • If >10% of control organisms die  throw out test! • Use 10 – 30 organisms  randomly split up among tanks

  6. Set up for definitive test – example 1

  7. Set up for definitive test – example 2 low = 101 µg/L high = 103

  8. Analysis of Toxicity Tests • Based on hypothesis that resistance to toxicants is normally distributed • Use a probit transformation to make data easier to analyze • Based on SD so each probit has a percentage attached to it • Mean response defined as probit = 5 so all probits are positive  easier to visualize • Can use probit analysis to calculate LC50 because probit transformation will straighten the cumulative distribution line

  9. Normal distribution # Responding Log Dose Dose Probit Analysis • Response of organisms to toxic chemicals = normal distribution • Cannot measure normal distribution directly because effect is cumulative, so graph as cumulative distribution Cumulative distribution

  10. Difficult to evaluate a curved line Conversion to a straight line would make evaluation easier Log Dose Log Dose Converting a curvilinear line to straight line Cumulative distribution Probit transformed % Mortality 0 50 100% Probit Units 3 5 7 Straight line (easier to analyze) LD50, TLM)

  11. Note: probit forces data towards middle of distribution  good because most organisms are “average” in their response

  12. Relationship between normal distribution and standard deviations 34.13% Mean 13.6% 2.13% -2 -1 0 1 2 Standard deviations

  13. Difficult to deal with SD (34.13, 13.6, etc) so rename SD to probits 34.13% Mean 13.6% 2.13% 3 4 5 6 7 Probits

  14. Example probit analysis Look at data  should be able to tell immediately that LC50 should be between 10 and 30 mg/L Graph  fit line by eye (approximately equal number above and below line)

  15. Uses of LC50 • 1. Application factor • LC50 x n = ___ = allowable dose • Good if do not have better information (chronic tests) • Rank hazards  lower LC50 = more toxic • Lead to chronic testing • Remember: LC50 does not provide an ecologically meaningful result  bad because trying to protect ecosystem  need more ecosystem level testing • Probit is trade-off between cost and getting sufficient data to make a decision about the environmental toxicity of a chemical
