متن کاملDo estuaries pose a toxic contamination risk for wading birds?
The impact of potentially toxic chemicals on wildlife is commonly assessed by comparing the intake of the contaminant with the "no observable effects level" (NOAEL) of intake. It is known, however, that there are considerable uncertainties inherent in this method. This study presents a Monte-Carlo based model to assess the degree of risk posed to birds (dunlin, Calidris alpina) from important e...
