July 31st, 2025, 11 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. ET

Toxicokinetics (TK) provides a bridge between chemical hazard and exposure assessment by predicting tissue concentrations due to exposure. Traditional TK methods can be resource intensive and require chemical-specific in vivo data. The U.S. EPA's httk R Package is free and uses data from in vitro assays to fill data gaps in traditional toxicokinetic methods. 

Speaker: Dr. John Wambaugh, EPA's Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure

This Webinar, recorded June 27, 2024 provides an overview of the Chemical Transformation Simulator (CTS). The CCTS is a web-based tool for predicting transformation pathways and physicochemical properties of organic chemicals. CTS predictions can address data gaps associated with chemical registration and assessment, support alternative assessment activities for manufactured chemicals, and help identify transformation products detected during nontargeted analysis of environmental samples. Furthermore, CTS can be used as a parameterization tool for more complex exposure assessment models for environmental fate, transport, bioaccumulation, and dose estimation.
