RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES
Research reports of the Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, have been grouped into nine series. These nine broad cate-
gories were established to facilitate further development and application of en-
vironmental technology. Elimination of traditional grouping was consciously
planned to foster technology transfer and a maximum interface in related fields.
The nine series are:
1. Environmental Health Effects Research
2. Environmental Protection Technology
3. Ecological Research
4. Environmental Monitoring
5. Socioeconomic Environmental Studies
6. Scientific and Technical Assessment Reports (STAR)
7. Interagency Energy-Environment Research and Development
8. "Special" Reports
9. Miscellaneous Reports
This report has been assigned to the INTERAGENCY ENERGY-ENVIRONMENT
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT series Reports in this series result from the
effort funded under the 17-agency Federal Energy/Environment Research and
Development Program. These studies relate to EPA's mission to protect the public
health and welfare from adverse effects of pollutants associated with energy sys-
tems. The goal of the Program is to assure the rapid development of domestic
energy supplies in an environmentally-compatible manner by providing the nec-
essary environmental data and control technology. Investigations include analy-
ses of the transport of energy-related pollutants and their health and ecological
effects; assessments of, and development of, control technologies for energy
systems; and integrated assessments of a wide range of energy-related environ-
mental issues.

ABSTRACT
A scheme was developed for the comparison of Health Effect and Ecological
Bioassay Assessment Data. The scheme was based on the assumption that
each test method had a maximum dose (concentration) which could be reli-
ably applied and that effects based on fractions of the maximum applicable
dose (MAD) can be designated as degrees of toxicity. The levels of
toxicity based on fractions of the MAD are given as high, moderate, low,
and nondetectable (i.e no effect detected at the MAD).
Employing this scheme, data from three pilot studies including water
effluent samples, fluidized bed combusion samples, and coal gasification
samples were examined.

I. INTRODUCTION
This report presents a system to convert results from Level 1 health
effects, bioassays, and selected Level 1 ecological bioassays into a
uniform format. This format is structured so that data can be converted
from original study reports into nondetectable, low, moderate, and high
designations. The evaluation of raw data and development of the final
toxicity definitions require a set oflTtalbe^and data transition sheets
that provide a uniform method of data stJIMarization.
The approach is based on the following rationale:
Biological activity measured by lethality has sufficient,
common phenomena to produce meaningful comparisons. The
Ames Salmonella assay measures gene revertants rather
than toxicity, but its results can be grouped in a similar
fashion.
Each assay, regardless of the type of response measured,
has a maximum applicable dose above which the test data
are virtually impossible to interpret because of nonspe-
cific responses of the test organisms.
A structure is needed for data assessment that can cate-
gorize toxicity data from diverse sources into a series
of similar comparative categories. Without this, the
comparison of these diverse assays would be difficult,
and subject to variable interpretations.
The categories low, moderate, and high are sufficiently
broad to encompass normal variability and species differ-
ences, yet are narrow enough to provide meaningful cate-
gories for decision making.
Level 1 testing is designed to rank sampling sites for
further studies and is not intended for making human risk
estimates.
Environmental assessment requires evaluation of data derived from chemistry,
engineering, and biology. This data formatting program was developed to
permit biological data to easily fit into the evaluation process without
requiring the user to be an expert in numerous biological disciplines.
The data forms suggested here will be revised as Level 1 procedures are
changed. Consult the most recent revision of "IERL-RTP Procedures Manual:
Level 1 Biological Tests for Environmental Assessment" for current forms.
-------
II. DEFINITION OF HIGH, MEDIUM. LOW, AND NONDETECTABLE TOXICITY
Definition of the above classes of toxicity would be as follows:
Nondetectable--no significant response as determined by a preestablished
set of criteria. Toxicants could be present in a sample below the level
of detectability (MDC) for the assay.
Low--a significant response or an LD50, LC50, or EC50 value ranging from
the maximum dose applicable to the assay system (defined as MAD and estab-
lished in advance) to one-tenth of that value. For example, if it is
established that 10 g/kg will define the upper limit of sample application
to rats in the acute rodent toxicity test, then any sample which has an
LD50 value of 10 g/kg down to a concentration of 1 g/kg will be defined
as having low toxicity.
Medium—a significant response or an LD50, LC50, or EC50 value ranging
from a concentraton less than the lower limit of the "low" toxicity (1/10
of the MAD) to 1/100 of the MAD. Using the same illustration, an LD50
(EC50) obtained at a concentration ranging from 0.1 g/kg to 1.0 g/kg in
the rodent toxicity assay will be considered as moderate.
High—a significant response or an LD50 (EC50) value less than 1/100 of
the MAD for the particular assay. Thus, any sample with an LD50 less
than 0.1 g/kg in the rodent assay will be considered to have high toxicity.
A summary of the toxicity levels and their associated definitions are
shown in Table 1.
The degree of sample concentration will be factored into the calculation
procedure and will reduce the level of toxicity accordingly.
Figures 1 to 3 illustrate the relationship of critical data (e.g. LD50)
to high, moderate, low and nondectable designations.
The MAD values are taken from current protocols used in conducting these
studies. The values proposed for MAD in Level 1 screening were established
from:
pilot study data developed from Level 1 testing,
scientific publications dealing with uniform testing methods
(Science, 203:563, 1979), and
standard operating procedures defined by testing labora-
tories experienced in conducting Level 1 bioassays.

III. DATA TRANSITION FORMS
In order to ensure uniform translation of raw data to definitions of
toxicity, three intermediate forms were developed.
The Primary Data Transition Form (Table 2) records the basic information
from a test by sample. The type of test, is respective MAD, and the
calculated active dose are recorded on this table. Since the Ames
Salmonella assay is a special case, the LC50 value is not directly
applicable. The Ames test is evaluated as either positive (+) or nega-
tive (-). If it is (-), the level of activity is not as significant a
the fact that the sample was not mutagenic. If the sample was (+),
however, it is possible to assess the level of activity by defining the
lowest concentration of the test sample at which mutagenicity could be
detected (activity is defined by the preestablished criteria suggested
in Appendix A).
The primary form is also used to record testing methods which concen-
trate a sample after receipt, such as solvent exchange. The concentra-
tion factor is the ratio of the total volume sampled to the final sample
volume. There is also a place to record commments regarding the assay
that provide backup documentation or explanations. In several tests
(e.g., RAM), several parameters indicative of cell lethality are measured.
Each of these should be recorded in the primary data transition form
(Table 2) and the most sensitive parameter used to determine "Level of
toxicity" for the Bioassay Summary (Table 6). Without some method of
ranking each parameter, this is considered an adequate approach to
uniform data interpretation.
The Primary Data Transition Forms are often used when results are sub-
mitted by more than one biological contractor. It is designed to pro-
vide a uniform base for assimilating data for transition to subsequent
Level 1 formats.
Health and Ecological Effects Critical Data Summary Forms, (Tables 3, 4,
and 5) combine the data from Level 1 tests conducted on samples from a
single site. Tables 3 and 4 summarize reponses from health effects
tests and Table 5 summarizes the response from aquatic tests.
Tables 2 to 5 contain the responses which are finally summarized for all
Level 1 tests in Table 6. It is a summary of the various tests using
only ND, L, M, and H response designations. Table 6 allows rapid ranking
of the streams evaluated by the variety of tests used in Level 1.

V. APPLICATION OF THE MAXIMUM APPLIED DOSE CONCEPT FOR ASSIGNMENT OF
TOXIC LEVELS ~'—
By examination of already existing pilot study reports (supplied by
EPA), test results were formatted using the methods described in this
report. Numerous parameters could be considered in this data transfer,
but we proposed a simple route relying primarily on LD50, LC50, EC50, or
MEC. The data analyses given in reports submitted to EPA by various
testing laboratories were amenable to this approach, and data conversion
into toxic levels was accomplished readily.
Summaries of results from the application of this approach are shown in
Tables 7, 11, and 15.
14
-------
Legend to Tables 7, 11, and 15
These tables are a summary of EPA submitted data for Level 1 Pilot Studv
Bioassays.
The data were obtained from bioassays of various water effluents (Table
7), fluidized bed combustion samples (Table 11), and coal gasification
procedures (Table 15).
Toxicity is defined as:
H = High
M = Moderate
L = Low
ND = Nondetectable
Tables 8, 9, 10, and 12, 13, 14, and 16, 17, 18 are intermediate summary
tables. Reported values are given as concentration based on Table 1.

VII. AMES TEST DATA INTERPRETATION CRITERIA
A. Evaluation Criteria
Plate test data consist of direct revertant colony counts obtained from
a set of selective agar plates seeded with populations of mutant cells
suspended in a semisolid overlay (Ames et al. , 1975). Because the test
chemical and the cells are incubated in the overlay for 2 days, and a
few cell divisions occur during the incubation period, the test is semi-
quantitative in nature. Although these features of the assay reduce the
quantitation of results, they provide certain advantages not contained
in a quantitative suspension test:
The small number of cell divisions permits potential mutagens
to act on replicating DMA, which is often more sensitive than
nonreplicating DMA.
The combined incubation of the compound and the cells in the
overlay permits constant exposure of the indicator cells for
2 days.
1. Surviving Populations
Plate test procedures do not permit exact quantitation of the number of
cells surviving chemical treatment. At low concentrations of the test
chemical, the surviving population on the treatment plate is essentially
the same as that on the negative control plate. At high concentrations,
the surviving population is usually reduced by some fraction. Our protocol
normally employs several doses ranging over 2 or 3 log concentrations,
the highest of these doses being selected to show slight toxicity as
determined by subjective criteria.
2. Dose-Response Phenomena
The demonstration of dose-related increases in mutant counts is an important
criterion in establishing mutagenicity. A factor that might modify dose-
response results for a mutagen would be the selection of doses that are
too low (usually mutagenicity and toxicity are related). If the highest
dose if far lower than a toxic concentration, no increases may be observed
over the dose range selected. Conversely, if the lowest dose employed
is highly cytotoxic, the test chemical may kill any mutants that are
induced, and the compound will not appear to be mutagenic.
29
-------
3. Control Tests
Positive and negative control assays are conducted with each experiment
and consist of direct-acting mutagens for nonactivation assays and mutagens
that require metabolic biotransformation in activation assay. Negative
controls consist of the test compound solvent in the overlay agar together
with the other essential components. The negative control plate for each
strain gives a reference point to which the test data are compared. The
positive control assay is conducted to demonstrate that the test systems
are functional with known mutagens.
4. Evaluation Criteria for Ames Assay
Because the procedures used to evaluate the mutagenicity of the test
chemical are semiquantitative, the criteria used to determine positive
effects are inherently subjective and are based primarily on a historical
data base. Most data sets are evaluated using the following criteria:
a. Strains TA-1535, TA-1537, and TA-1538
If the solvent control value is within the normal range, a
chemical that produces a positive dose response over three
concentrations with the lowest increase equal to twice the
solvent control value is considered to be mutagenic.
b. Strains TA-98 and TA-100
If the solvent control value is within the normal range, a
chemical that produces a positive dose response over three
concentrations with the highest increase equal to twice the
solvent control value for TA-100 and two to three times the
solvent control value for strain TA-98 is considered to be
mutagenic. For these strains, the dose-response increase
should start at approximately the solvent control value.
c. Pattern
Because TA-1535 and TA-100 are both derived from the same parental
strain (G-46) and because TA-1538 and TA-98 are both derived
from the same parental strain (D3052), there is a built-in
redundancy in the microbial assay. In general, the two strains
of a set respond to the same mutagen and such a pattern is sought.
It is also anticipated that if a given strain, e.g., TA-1537,
responds to a mutagen in nonactivation tests, it will generally
do so in activation tests. (The converse of this relationship
is not expected). While similar response patterns are not
required for all mutagens, they can be used to enhance the
reliability of an evaluation decision.
30
-------
d. Reprociuc ibi 1 i ty
If a chemical produces a response in a single test that cannot
be reproduced in one or more additional runs, the initial posi-
tive data lose significance.
The preceding criteria are not absolute, and other extenuating
factors may enter into a final evaluation decision. However,
these criteria are applied to the majority of situations and
are presented to aid those individuals not familiar with this
procedure. As the data base is increased, the criteral for
evaluation can be more firmly established.
5. Relationship Between Mutagenicity and Carcinogenicity
It must be emphasized that the Ames Salmonella/Microsome Plate Test is
not a definitive test for chemical carcinogens. It is recognized, however,
that correlative and functional relationships have been demonstrated between
these two end points. The results of comparative tests on 300 chemicals
by McCann et al. (1975) show an extremely good correlation between results
of microbial mutagenesis tests and j_n vivo rodent carcinogenesis assays.
