What adverse effects in environmental species are reportable under TSCA §8(e)?
A.24. Ecologically significant changes in species’ interrelationships should be reported, as well as any non-trivial adverse effect unknown to the Administrator and associated with a chemical known to have bioaccumulated to a pronounced degree or to have the potential for widespread environmental exposure. The following table developed from the 1996 EPA hazard ranking system for TSCA §8(e) triage evaluation can be used as a guide to TSCA §8(e) reportability of acute and chronic toxicity to aquatic organisms. No comparable criteria are available for other environmental species and therefore adverse effects in non-aquatic organisms should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
