Environmental context Having appropriate and robust models used for developing water
quality guidelines is critical for sound environmental management. Methods used to validate …

Toxicity‐modifying factors can be modeled either empirically with linear regression models
or mechanistically, such as with the biotic ligand model (BLM). The primary factors affecting …

Zinc is an essential element for aquatic organisms, however, activities such as mining and
refining, as well as zinc's ubiquitous role in modern society can contribute to elevated …

Bioavailability models, for example, multiple linear regressions (MLRs) of water quality
parameters, are increasingly being used to develop bioavailability‐based water quality …
