... of TBT for nontarget organisms can be defined, given substantially reduced rates of input. Recent information on fate and persistence, chronic toxicity, and dose-response relationships could support a more quantitative risk assessment with the possibility of more or less stringent restrictions.

... , toxicokinetics, and observations of wildlife in areas of field trials. Assessment of reproductive toxicity includes studies with various birds and other wildlife, particularly European starlings that nest at high densities in established nest boxes; these studies include measurements of embryo and nestling survival, postfledgling survival, behavior, diet, and residue chemistry (Kendall et al., 1989)
