toxCSM Endpoint: Honey Bee


Description


In this endpoint data, pesticides or pesticide-like compounds are assessed in terms of presenting high or low toxicity to honey bees. This dataset was retrieved by Yang et al. from US EPA ECOTOX Database. To define the categorical values defining toxicity, the authors used the value of Lethal Dose 50% (LD50), where more than 100 μg/bee was considered as high acute toxic compound, whereas values lower than this value were considered as low acute toxic compound.
