INTRODUCTION
Hazardous chemicals present in the
environment create a need for
understanding the risk of exposure to
living things. EPA’s Office of Research
and Development is creating tools that
make toxicity estimation accessible.
TEST uses New Approach Methods for
toxicity estimation.

DEFINITION
T.E.S.T. stands for Toxicity Estimation Software Tool.
It's a computational model designed to predict the
potential toxicity of chemicals based on their
physicochemical properties. By inputting data
about a chemical's structure and properties

APPLICATION
Regulatory Risk Assessment: Predicts chemical
toxicity for regulatory compliance and environmental
safety.
Drug Development: Estimates toxicity of drug
candidates, aiding in early safety assessments.
Chemical Manufacturing: Helps ensure product
safety and compliance by predicting potential toxic
effects.

APPLICATION
Academic Research: Used in predictive toxicology
and environmental chemistry studies.
Environmental Monitoring: Screens pollutants and
assesses environmental impact.
Cosmetic & Personal Care: Evaluates the safety of
cosmetic ingredients

CONCLUSION
TEST is a valuable tool for predicting the toxicity of chemicals
across various industries. It helps reduce reliance on animal
testing, speeds up safety assessments, and aids in regulatory
compliance. By applying computational models, TEST enables
users to estimate the potential health and environmental risks
associated with chemicals, facilitating safer product
development and environmental protection. Its broad
applications from pharmaceuticals to environmental science
make it a key resource in modern toxicology.
