Abstract Internal concentrations (ICs) are crucial for linking exposure to effects in the development of New Approach Methodologies. ICs of chemicals in aquatic organisms are primarily driven by hydrophobicity and modulated by biotransformation and efflux. Comparing the predicted baseline to observed toxicity enables the estimation of effect specificity, but biological processes can lead to overestimating ICs and bias the specificity assessment. To evaluate the prediction of a mass balance model (MBM) and the impact of biotransformation on ICs, experimental ICs of 63 chemicals in zebrafish embryos were compared to predictions with physicochemical properties as input parameters. Experimental ICs of 79% (50 of 63) of the chemicals deviated less than 10-fold from predictions, and the remaining 13 deviated up to a factor of 90. Using experimental ICs changed the classification for 19 chemicals, with ICs 5 to 90 times lower than predicted, showing the bias of specificity classification. Uptake kinetics of pirinixic acid, genistein, dexamethasone, ethoprophos, atorvastatin, and niflumic acid were studied over a 96 h exposure period, and transformation products (TPs) were elucidated using suspect- and nontarget screening with UPLC-HRMS. 35 TPs (5 to 8 TPs per compound) were tentatively identified and semiquantified based on peak areas, suggesting that biotransformation may partly account for the overpredictions of ICs.
