Ecotoxicological prediction of organic chemicals toward Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata by Monte Carlo approach.

ABSTRACT: In the ecotoxicological risk assessment, acute toxicity is one of the most significant criteria. Green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata has been used for ecotoxicological studies to assess the toxicity of different toxic chemicals in freshwater. Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR) are mathematical models to relate chemical structure and activity/physicochemical properties of chemicals quantitatively. Herein, Quantitative Structure Toxicity Relationship (QSTR) modeling is applied to assess the toxicity of a data set of 334 different chemicals on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, in terms of EC₁₀ and EC₅₀ values. The QSTR models are established using CORAL software by utilizing the target function (TF₂) with the index of idea
