29 Development of (Q)SARs for Dermal Irritation and Corrosion Assessment Using European Union New Chemicals Notification Data

Author QueriesBOOK: ROBERTSCHAPTER NUMBER: 29Q1 Reference ’Environmental Health Perspectives (2003)’ has been cited in text but notprovided in the list. Please supply reference details or delete the reference citationfrom the text.Q2 Author comment: Please remove first ‘e’ (may be crossed e in correction mode notvisible).Q3 May be I would prefer to put the third column to the right of the “Risk phrases”column(s). Same for the other tables.Q4 So there is no bromine or Iodine present in these six “exceptions”?.Q5 As it was this section sounded as if generally insufficient data were available for l.s.which somehow would have invalidated Table 4.Q6 Also, minor impurities (!5%) that are very volatile can have a very pronounce effecton the vapour pressure of the whole substance.Q7 Think we cannot give such exact figures for all future New Chemicals (or to quoteDonisDay“...thefuture’snotourstosee...”thereforeisuggesttouseamoretentativewording.Q8 Please check the edit of the sentence.Q9 Please update the reference 9.
