In this study, the species sensitivity distributions (SSDs) of 68 pesticides commonly used in Japanese paddy fields were analyzed based on collected acute toxicity data as a higher-tier ecological effect assessment. Then, based on each SSD, the 5% hazardous concentration (HC<sub>5</sub>) values were calculated as the predicted no-effect concentrations for aquatic ecosystems. The differences between HC<sub>5</sub> and registration criteria were small (within 10-fold) for 50 of the 68 pesticides. ...[more]
