- Title
TOXICODYNAMIC ASSUMPTIONS IN ECOTOXICOLOGICAL HAZARD MODELS.
- Authors
Ashauer, Roman; Brown, Colin D.
- Abstract
Existing toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic models and dynamic formulations of popular ecotoxicological concepts (e.g., the critical body residue concept) are examined. Their underlying assumptions about speed of recovery and thresholds are clarified, and a rigorous mathematical treatment shows that they can all be placed within a unifying framework. Such analysis aids in the selection of appropriate ecotoxicological models.
