The biotic ligand model (BLM) is a mechanistic approach that greatly improves our ability to
generate site-specific ambient water quality criteria (AWQC) for metals in the natural …

Each year ecotoxicological problems become increasingly complex and encompass
broader spatial and temporal scales. Our practical understanding must evolve accordingly to …

EPA recognized that metals present unique risk assessment issues, and saw the need to
develop a framework document that puts forth key scientific principles for metals risk …

Developing and validating quantitative cationic‐activity relationships or (Q) CARs to predict
the toxicity metals is challenging because of issues associated with metal speciation …

The geochemical cycles of lanthanides are being disrupted by increasing global production
and human use, but their ecotoxicity is not fully characterized. In this study, the sensitivity of …

Abstract The toxicity of Zn, Cu, and Cd, alone or in combination, was assessed using two
luminescence‐based microbialbiosensors from different ecological niches: Escherichia coli …

Metals are widely distributed pollutants in water and can have detrimental effects on some
aquatic life and humans. Over the past few decades, the United States Environmental …

The Microtox Acute Toxicity Test1, usually identified as Microtox, has played a leading and
pivotal role in developing minimalistic microscale toxicity testing.“Speed, simplicity …

Quantitative structure—activity relationships have been used to predict the relative toxicity of
organic compounds. Although not as common, ion characteristics have also proven useful …
