Description

This volume in the "SCOPE" series is concerned with chemical risk assessment and the estimation of injurious effects to ecological species that make up large, complex ecosystems. The report evaluates current knowledge of ecotoxicology. The evaluation is presented in 15 contributed papers and includes general recommendations aimed at improving research in this field and developing methodologies for ecotoxicology testing, taking account of potentials and the limitations of available models and approaches.
