The production of toxic plant secondary metabolites (phytotoxins) for defense is a widespread phenomenon in
the plant kingdom and is even present in agricultural crops. These phytotoxins may have similar characteristics to anthropogenic
micropollutants in terms of persistence and toxicity. However, they are only rarely included in environmental risk assessments,
partly because a systematic overview of phytotoxins is missing. Here, we present a newly developed, freely available database,
Toxic Plants−PhytoToxins (TPPT), containing 1586 phytotoxins of potential ecotoxicological relevance in Central Europe
linked to 844 plant species. Our database summarizes phytotoxin patterns in plant species and provides detailed biological and
chemical information as well as in silico estimated properties. Using the database, we evaluated phytotoxins regarding
occurrence, approximated from the frequencies of Swiss plant species; environmental behavior based on aquatic persistence and
mobility; and toxicity. The assessment showed that over 34% of all phytotoxins are potential aquatic micropollutants and should
be included in environmental investigations.
