Fig. 3. Marginal contribution of carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, reproductive toxicity, and environmental properties to the odds of inclusion on the Candidate List.

The figure presents the point estimates of the odds ratio and the corresponding 95% confidence interval for all parameters included in the logit model where we explore in further detail which specific toxicological properties affect the listing on the Candidate List. Chemicals listed in the Candidate List are compared to (a) all chemicals registered under the European chemical regulation Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH, n = 15,169), (b) chemicals listed on the SIN list (SIN, n = 874), and (c) chemicals listed on the PRIO list (PRIO, n = 856). Parameters with estimates to the left of the vertical line at 1 will typically be of lower value in the Candidate List as compared to the list with which it is compared, and vice versa.
