The solvation parameter model is used to construct equations for the estimation of the non-specific toxicity of neutral organic compounds to five organisms used for short-term toxicity testing. For the bacteria Vibrio fischeri (Microtox test) and Pseudomonas putida, the protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis (Tetratox test), the green alga Scendesmus quadricauda and the brine shrimp Artemia salina, the main factors resulting in increased non-specific toxicity are size (dominantly) and lone-pair electron interactions, with hydrogen-bond basicity the most important solute property reducing toxicity. Species differences in relative non-specific toxicity are largely related to differences in cohesion and hydrogen-bond acidity of the biomembranes. The models for non-specific toxicity are proposed as an alternative to the octanol-water distribution constant for the determination of baseline toxicity. Failure of the octanol-water distribution constant to model non-specific toxicity is quantitatively explained by its inability to adequately characterize the sorption properties of the biomembranes for compounds with varied properties.
