Dispersants provide a reliable large-scale response to catastrophic oil spills that can be
used when the preferable option of recapturing the oil cannot be achieved. By allowing even …

Tests with vertebrates are an integral part of environmental hazard identification and risk
assessment of chemicals, plant protection products, pharmaceuticals, biocides, feed …

In this paper, we evaluated the ecotoxicological potential of the 100 pharmaceuticals
expected to occur in highest quantities in the wastewater of a general hospital and a …

Hayes' Principles and Methods of Toxicology has long been established as a reliable and
informative reference for the concepts, methodologies, and assessments integral to …

Investigations into the environmental fate and effects of microplastics have been gaining
momentum. Small, insoluble polymeric particles are implicated by scientists in a wide variety …

The initial step in the assessment of the ecological risk of pollutants is to determine the
predicted no-effect concentration (PNEC). However, ecological risk assessments of eight …

Environmental impacts due to engineered nanomaterials arise both from releases of the
nanomaterials themselves as well as from their synthesis. In this work, we employ the …

It is virtually impossible to reliably assess water quality with target chemical analyses only.
Therefore, a complementary effect‐based risk assessment by bioanalyses on mixtures of …

In recent years pharmaceuticals have been detected in aquatic systems receiving
discharges of municipal and industrial effluents. Although diphenhydramine (DPH) has been …

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are a relatively new strain of materials for which little is
understood about their impacts. A species sensitivity distribution (SSDs) is a cumulative …
