Assessing the Hazard of Metals and Inorganic Metal Substances in Aquatic and Terrestrial Systems

Offers the basis for improvements to the model for hazard assessment. This book reviews the scientific underpinnings of the use of persistence as applied to metals, including bioavailability, and the use of bioaccumulation to evaluate aquatic species and aquatic-linked food chains. It examines toxicity procedures as used within PBT approaches.
