Probabilistic Ecological Risk Assessment Framework for Chemical Substances
The goal of probabilistic ecological risk assessment (PERA) is to estimate the likelihood and the extent of adverse effects occurring to ecological systems due to exposure(s) to substances. It is based on the comparison of an exposure concentration distribution (ECD) with a species sensitivity distribution (SSD) derived from chronic toxicity data. A PERA framework was proposed and illustrated w...
متن کاملMethodology To Determine Risk Of Chemicals In Rivers Under Data Uncertainty
The goal of probabilistic ecological risk assessment (PERA) is to estimate the likelihood and the extent of adverse effects occurring to humans and ecological systems due to exposure(s) to substances. It is based on the comparison of an exposure concentration distribution (ECD) with a species sensitivity distribution (SSD) derived from chronic toxicity data. This PERA framework was completed by...
متن کاملPollution Assessment some of Heavy Metals in Water and Surface Sediments of Nasseri Wetland (Khorramshahr)
Background and Aim:This research was conducted of determining and comparing the heavy metals of zinc, iron, manganese, copper, nickel and vanadium in summer in waters and sediments of Naseri wetland in Khuzestan province, 2017. Material and Methods:Sampling of water and sediments from three areas of north, central and southern Naseri wetland was carried out in summer. In order to measure heavy...
متن کاملA tiered ecological risk assessment of three chlorophenols in Chinese surface waters.
INTRODUCTION The ecological risks posed by three chlorophenols (CPs), 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP), and pentachlorophenol (PCP) in Chinese surface waters were assessed. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was achieved by applying a tiered ecological risk assessment (ERA) approach ranging from deterministic methods to probabilistic options to measured concentrations o...
متن کاملEcological risk assessment using heavy metals from surface sediments of Nayband Bay and Asaluyeh region (Northern Persian Gulf)
The toxicity of heavy metals in sediments of the Nayband Bay and Asaluyeh region and potential ecological risk to sediment organisms assessed. Three stations with different degrees of vulnerability of South Pars Oil and Gas Activities (1: Control - 2: medium affected and 3: severely affected) were selected in the study area. Sediment sampling at each station in both cold and hot seasons (2010) ...
