The Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) is used to evaluate the bioaccumulation potential of chemical substances in reference organisms, and it directly correlates with ecotoxicity. Traditional BCF estimation methods are costly, time-consuming, and involve animal sacrifice. Many technologies are used to avoid the problems associated with testing.

This study offers the first quantitative structure-toxicity relationship (QSTR) and quantitative read-across-structure toxicity relationship (q-RASTR) models encompassing the LOEL and NOEL endpoints for acute toxicity in chicken, a widely consumed protein. The study's significance lies in the direct link between chemical toxicity in chicken, human intake, and environmental damage.
