Monitoring of chemicals in the aquatic environment by chemical analysis alone cannot
completely assess and predict the effects of chemicals on aquatic species and ecosystems …

Because it is only possible to test chemicals for effects on a restricted range of species and
exposure scenarios, ecotoxicologists are faced with a significant challenge of how to …

Aquatic invertebrates play a pivotal role in (eco) toxicological assessments because they
offer ethical, cost‐effective and repeatable testing options. Additionally, their significance in …

Alkylphenols (APs) are ubiquitous and generally present in higher residue levels in the
environment. The present work focuses on the development of a set of in silico models to …

Groundwater comprises the largest freshwater ecosystem on the planet. It has a distinct
regime of extreme, yet stable environmental conditions that have favoured the development …

Background Chemical pollution forms a severe threat for human and environmental health.
While the risks for European lowland water bodies are well known, there is little knowledge …

The increasing production, use and emission of synthetic chemicals into the environment
represents a major driver of global change. The large number of synthetic chemicals, limited …

Seasonal hydrological variation and chemical pollution represent two main drivers of
freshwater biodiversity change in Mediterranean rivers. We investigated to what extent low …

A major challenge in ecological risk assessment is estimating chemical-induced effects
across taxa without species-specific testing. Where ecotoxicological data may be more …

Ecosystems are usually populated by many species. Each of these species carries the
potential to show a different sensitivity towards all of the numerous chemical compounds that …
