A new methodology to evaluate the overall environmental hazard of unknown mixtures,
based on bioconcentration potential and toxicity, was developed using a combination of two …

Due to several anthropogenic activities, water bodies have been heavily impacted by
contaminants identified in aquatic ecosystems, including pharmaceuticals, personal care …

The aquatic environment is continually exposed to a complex mixture of chemicals, whereby
effluents of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are one key source. The aim of the …

In this study, 9 chemicals were chosen from a recent report on surface water concentrations
of a variety of xenobiotics to test the hypothesis that the toxicity of chemical mixtures could …

Current approaches to the assessment of chemical hazards focus on toxicity studies with
single, pure chemicals. In the environment, however, organisms are exposed to numerous …

Chemical pollution is typically characterized by exposure to multiple rather than to single or
a limited number of compounds. Parent compounds, transformation products and other non …

Abstract Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic (PBT) and very Persistent and very
Bioaccumulative (vPvB) are regulatory hazard categories that have been set to manage the …

The n-octanol/water partition coefficient (K OW) is a physical/chemical property that is
extensively used for regulatory and environmental risk and exposure assessments. The K …

The identification and quantification of effluent toxicity plays an important role in the
evaluation of harmful impacts on the aquatic environment. The aim of this study was to …

Data from an environmental hazard profile, including different tests on accumulation and
degradation as well as Daphnia acute toxicity were used for a classification of chemicals into …
