Quantitative Ion Character–Activity Relationship (QICAR) was used for correlating metal
ionic properties with maximum biosorption capacity (qmax). Heat inactivated biomass of …

Metals can pose hazards to marine species and can adversely affect structures and
functions of communities of marine species. However, little is known about how structural …

Background: This paper presents an application of quantitative ion character–activity
relationships (QICAR) to estimate associations of human cardiovascular (CV) diseases …

Quantitative Ecotoxicology, Second Edition explores models and methods of quantitative
ecotoxicology at progressively higher biological scales using worked examples and …

The environmental risk assessment of rare earth elements (REEs) requires data on their
potential toxicity. In the present study, the toxicity of lanthanum (La) and cerium (Ce) was …

Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR) predict relative toxicity of a family of
chemicals from fundamental and surrogate molecular qualities. Most QSARs are developed …

The mechanism of Pb-induced disruption of Na+ and Cl− balance was investigated in the
freshwater rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Na+ and Cl− influx rates were reduced …

Over the last half decade the study of fungal bioluminescence has regained momentum
since the involvement of enzymes has been confirmed after over 40 years of controversy …

This chapter provides an overview of the development and evolution of the Microtox test and
summarizes some of the important findings from the Microtox literature as well as regulatory …

Bioassays using naturally luminescent bacteria are commonly used to assess the toxicity of
environmental contaminants, detected by a decrease in luminescence. Typically, this has …
