Environmental Toxicology
Environmental Toxicology is a relatively young field and LAB Research Hungary has rapidly been building its expertise in this field for over 10 years.  Our testing includes the understanding the benefits and hazards of chemicals uses.

Study Types - Aquatic Algae Growth Daphnia sp. Acute immobilization Daphnia magna reproduction

Acute Toxicity to Fish Long-term toxicity testing to fish Lemna growth inhibition

Study Types - Terrestrial Effects on Non-Target Arthropods Acute oral toxicity to Honey bees Acute contact toxicity to Honey bees Acute toxicity to predatory mites Acute toxicity to parasitic wasps Acute toxicity to Carabid beetles Acute toxicity to Green lacewings Effect on Soil Organisms

Short-term toxicity to earthworms Chronic/reproduction toxicity to earthworms Nitrogen transformation test Bacterial grown inhibition test Avian Toxicity Avian acute oral toxicity test  Avian dietary toxicity test Avian one-generation reproduction

Environmental Fate/Degradation Ready biodegradability ASRIT Hydrolysis as a function of pH Degradation in surface water

Soil simulation testing Sediment simulation testing Identification of degradation products Adsorption/desorption screening

Staff
Our staff work to the requirements of various world-wide guidelines (OECD, EU, OPPTS) including the recommendations of ESCORT 2 and IOBC.
