Expanding the risk assessment toolbox

This book provides a comprehensive and practical evaluation of specific ecological models for potential use in risk assessment.

Ecological Modeling in Risk Assessment: Chemical Effects on Populations, Ecosystems, and Landscapes

Goes beyond current risk assessment practices for toxic chemicals as applied to individual-organism endpoints to describe ecological effects models useful at the population, ecosystem, and landscape levels.

The authors demonstrate the utility of a set of ecological effects models, eventually improving the ecological relevance of risk assessments and making data collection more cost effective.
