A substantial volume of information has been reviewed for the environmental effects assessment. 

Much of this is in the public domain, but various additional unpublished information has been supplied by industry. For the purposes of the environmental effects assessment, the focus is on the freshwater environment.

As probabilistic exposure and risk assessment methods are developed and become more frequently used for environmental fate and effects assessment, OPP increasingly needs distributions of environmental fate values rather than single point estimates, and quantitation of error and uncertainty in measurements. Probabilistic models currently being developed by the OPP require distributions of environmental fate and effects parameters either by measurement, extrapolation or a combination of the two. The models predictions will allow regulators to base decisions on the likelihood and magnitude of exposure and effects for a range of conditions which vary both spatially and temporally, rather than in a specific environment under static conditions. This increased need for basic data on environmental fate may increase data collection and drive development of less costly and more precise analytical methods.

The risk characterization procedure will result in a quantitative comparison per substance of the outcome of the exposure assessment and of the effects assessment. This comparison is made through the ratio PEC/PNEC. The generic name for PEC/ PNEC in EUSES is risk characterization ratio (RCR). Other ratios are used in EUSES for the risk characterization such as the margin of safety (MOS) or the ratio of the estimated no-effect or effect level parameter to the estimated exposure level for human subpopulations and the acceptable operator exposure level (AOEL).

Further research is needed to more effectively assess risks to developing humans. For pharmaceuticals, more information is needed to determine whether an effect on a biomarker from an adult study can be applied to set safe levels in juveniles information on biomarker expression in juveniles is lacking. It is also not known whether juvenile humans are more sensitive to immune system perturbations than adults, although ani-...

A number of EIA theorists believe in incorporating formal RA methods into EIA as a way to cope with uncertainties, especially in impact prediction where a formal framework for ecological risk assessment (EcoRA) is already developed. It includes three generic phases problem formulation, analysis, and risk characterization followed by risk management. The analysis phase includes an exposure assessment and an ecological effects assessment (see, e.g., US EPA (1998)). 

In formal EcoRA framework three phases of risk analysis are identified problem formulation, analysis, and risk characterization followed by risk management. The analysis phase includes an exposure assessment and an ecological effects assessment (see Figure 2).
