Ecotoxicity Profile Analysis

An ecotoxicological profile analysis is a procedure developed to evaluate the environmental impact of chemicals (commonly used for pesticides). The basis of the risk assessment is a list of properties of the investigated chemical. That list includes concentration used, pattern of application, biodegradability, type and properties of metabolites, environmental dispersion and accumulation. Related results from laboratory tests are weighted and classified following very specific rules. Finally, one relative index number is obtained which allows a simple comparison between ecological impacts of different chemicals (for details see Freitag and co-workers [29]). [Pg.103]
