- Whole effluent toxicity tests are only the first stage in a risk assessment and as such identify hazard, not risk. Identification of risk requires discarding the concept of independent applicability. The appropriate use of WET tests is identified in the context of their advantages and disadvantages.

Jun 20, 2022 · Member states are allowed to assess the risk of produced water discharges using either data from whole-effluent toxicity (WET) tests, substance-based composition derived from produced water chemical characterization (also referred to as the substance-based approach), or a combination of the two approaches.

The basis for risk assessment is a PEC:PNEC and/or msPAF approach, which is valid only for substances causing effects by direct exposure through the water phase. Substances that are both bioaccumulative and
Jan 1, 2024 · Risk-based methods quantify potential environmental impact from offshore discharges. •. The proposed framework guides scaling of efforts in assessing and managing risks. •. Regulatory developments are key drivers for the application of risk-based methods. •. Screening tools enable rapid evaluation of hazard with reduced animal testing. •.
Whole Effluent Assessment (WEA) is the instrument for the ‘whole sample approach’ developed for effluents. WEA increases the understanding of the combined effects of all known and unknown substances within effluents, especially in complex mixtures.
Toxicity can be assessed either through the application of whole‐effluent toxicity (WET) testing or based on its substance‐based chemical composition or both.
