The tests were conducted according to ⁠OECD⁠ standard guidelines and supported by analyticalchemistry. The model deviation ratio (MDR) was used as quantitative measure for the compliance between observed mixture toxicity and the toxicity predicted by concentration addition. An MDR considerably larger than 2 may indicate synergistic interactions or the necessity to include so-far neglected substances into the prediction. For the here investigated wood preservative products and their eluates, the importance of taking formulation additives and transformation products into account has been clearly demonstrated. Acute as well as chronic toxicity could be reliably predicted with less than 2fold deviation when all relevant ingredients were known and included in the prediction. Yet, there was a tendency to overestimate mixture toxicity for endpoints of sub-lethal toxicity at low effect levels.111enghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/BiozideAnwendung von PflanzenschutzmittelnUmweltverträglichkeitsprüfungAlgentestBiotestSonstigesChemikalienChemicals
