  1. Biology-based approaches for mixture ecotoxicology Tjalling Jager

  2. Contents 14:00-18:00 (coffee at 16:00) • Lecture • limitations of descriptive approaches • framework for a process-based approach • Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory • sub-lethal effects • simplified survival modelling in more detail • Practical exercise • Play with a “toy model” in Excel (survival only) 18:00-18:30 Open discussion

  3. your mixture data full data interpretation Disclaimer! X Process-Based Model

  4. Interest in mixtures • Scientific • why are effects of mixtures the way they are? • Practical • how can we predict the environmental impact of mixtures?

  5. Practical challenge • Some 100,000 man-made chemicals • Large range of natural toxicants • For animals alone, >1 million species described • Complex exposure situations

  6. Typical approach A B

  11. What question did we answer? “What is effect of constant exposure to this mixture on total Daphnia reproduction after 21 days under standard OECD test conditions?”

  12. What question did we answer? “What is effect of constant exposure to this mixture on total Daphnia reproduction after 21 days under standard OECD test conditions?”

  13. What question did we answer? “What is effect of constant exposure to this mixture on total Daphnia reproduction after 21 days under standard OECD test conditions?”

  14. What question did we answer? “What is effect of constant exposure to this mixture on totalDaphnia reproduction after 21 days under standard OECD test conditions?”

  15. What question did we answer? “What is effect of constant exposure to this mixture on total Daphnia reproduction after 21 days under standard OECD test conditions?”

  16. What question did we answer? “What is effect of constant exposure to this mixture on total Daphniareproduction after 21 days under standard OECD test conditions?”

  17. What question did we answer? “What is effect of constant exposure to this mixture on total Daphnia reproduction after 21 days under standard OECD test conditions?”

  18. What question did we answer? “What is effect of constant exposure to this mixture on total Daphnia reproduction after 21 days under standard OECD test conditions?”

  19. What question did we answer? “What is effect of constant exposure to this mixture on total Daphnia reproduction after 21 days under standard OECD test conditions?” Relevance for science?

  20. Why! What question did we answer? “What is effect of constant exposure to this mixture on Daphnia reproduction after 21 days under standard OECD test conditions?” Relevance for science?

  21. What question did we answer? “What is effect of constant exposure to this mixture on total Daphnia reproduction after 21 days under standard OECD test conditions?” Relevance for risk assessment?

  22. Better questions Why do we see: • time patterns of effects on different endpoints …

  25. Better questions Why do we see: • time patterns of effects on different endpoints … • interactions between compounds and with environment … • differences between species and between compounds … • can we make useful predictions for risky situations?

  26. external concentration B (in time) external concentration A (in time) effects in time Process-based Assumption: internal concentration is linked to the effect causility

  27. toxico- kinetics internal concentration A in time internal concentration B in time external concentration B (in time) external concentration A (in time) effects in time toxico- kinetics Process-based Assumption: internal concentration is linked to the effect “toxicodynamic animal model”

  28. Demands on toxicokinetics model • Complexity should match the level of detail in data • simplest: scaled one-compartment model • one parameter (elimination rate) • estimated from effects data only • most complex: PBPK model … • requires detailed measurements … toxico- kinetics

  29. Demands on animal model • Explain endpoints of interest over entire life cycle • growth, start of reproduction, reproduction rate, survival, … • Explain effects of toxicants on these endpoints • Allow to interpret effects of multiple stressors • combination of chemicals • chemicals and non-chemical stressors • As little chemical- and species-specific as possible • comparison and extrapolation All organisms obey conservation of mass and energy! “toxicodynamic animal model”

  35. Natural role for energetics Understanding toxic effects on growth and reproduction requires understanding how food is acquired and used to produce traits • Rules for metabolic organisation • Start of Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory 30 years ago

  36. Kooijman (2000) Kooijman (2010) What is DEB? Quantitative theory for metabolic organisation; ‘first principles’ • time, energy and mass balance Life-cycle of the individual • links levels of organisation: molecule  ecosystems Fundamental; many practical applications • (bio)production, (eco)toxicity, climate change, evolution …
