STILLMEADOW, Inc. – Drug Development, Toxicology, Animal Health
At STILLMEADOW, Inc., we specialize in toxicology research, testing, and reporting for mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and insects. Our dedication to innovation and excellence provides fundamental data for evaluating products to inform both manufacturers and the public of potential hazards. Industries of significant economic and societal importance depend on safe use of effective chemicals for a multitude of useful and beneficial purposes.
We adhere to key legislation such as FIFRA and TSCA to protect people and the environment from harmful chemicals. The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) ensures pesticide registration with the EPA, emphasizing environmental protection. The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulates the introduction of new and existing chemicals, with acute and subchronic toxicity testing providing vital data for safety evaluation.
Industries rely on the safe use of effective chemicals for numerous beneficial applications. STILLMEADOW, Inc. is proud to offer essential toxicology services for premanufacture notification, pesticide registration, and safety recommendations for consumers and employees.

Toxicology is the study of the adverse effects of chemical, physical, or biological agents on living organisms. It encompasses the identification, characterization, and assessment of toxic substances and their mechanisms of action.
Toxicological assessments involve evaluating the toxicity of substances to determine their safety for human health and the environment. This typically includes studies on acute toxicity, chronic toxicity, carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, and ecological effects.
Toxicological studies are typically conducted using in vitro (cell-based) and in vivo (animal-based) models. These studies assess the effects of substances on various biological endpoints, such as cell viability, organ function, and biochemical pathways.
Regulatory agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), use toxicological data to establish safety standards, set exposure limits, and evaluate the risks associated with chemicals and products. This information informs regulatory decisions on product approval, labeling requirements, and environmental regulations.
Environmental toxicology involves evaluating the impact of contaminants on ecosystems, wildlife, and human health. Toxicologists assess environmental toxicity through field studies, laboratory experiments, and ecological risk assessments to determine the potential hazards and risks associated with environmental contaminants.
Acute toxicity refers to the adverse effects of a substance that occur shortly after exposure and usually involve a single or short-term exposure. Chronic toxicity, on the other hand, refers to the adverse effects that develop over a prolonged period of repeated exposure to a substance.
Ethical considerations in toxicological research include ensuring the humane treatment of animals in studies involving animal models, obtaining informed consent in human studies, protecting confidentiality and privacy, and conducting research in accordance with ethical guidelines and regulations.
