In Table 4, assessment endpoints and assessment measures are identified for particular
life stages. We focused on the following physiological systems identified in Figure 4:
chemoreception, locomotion, feeding, reproduction, and growth. We did not locate any
information on the remaining systems in Figure 4. Thus, they were not specifically
addressed in our analysis.
We assess the likelihood of these fitness level consequences occurring from exposure to
the action. In the exposure analysis (Figure 2), we select exposure estimates for our
listed resources derived from reviewing the available exposure data. Depending on the
chemicals being evaluated, data may or may not be available for all endpoints and
measures, and available data may vary in reliability. Thus, we use a weight-of-evidence
approach in this Opinion.
