The EU's ecological risk assessments

Science, 2017
In their Policy Forum “Estimating the health benefits of environmental regulations” (4 August, p. [457][1]), A. McGartland et al. compellingly make the case that compatibility between risk assessments of chemicals in the environment and benefit-cost analyses (BCAs) is key to developing ...

Ecological Risk Assessment, Prediction, and Assessing Risk Predictions

Risk Analysis, 2011
Ecological risk assessment embodied in an adaptive management framework is becoming the global standard approach for formally assessing and managing the ecological risks of technology and development. Ensuring the continual improvement of ecological risk assessment approaches is partly achieved through the dissemination of not only the types of risk ...

Enhancing the ecological risk assessment process

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, 2008
Abstract The Ecological Processes and Effects Committee of the US Environmental Protection Agency Science Advisory Board conducted a self-initiated study and convened a public workshop to characterize the state of the ecological risk assessment (ERA), with a view toward advancing the science and application of the process.

Ecological Risk Assessment of Contaminated Soil

2006
This review has described three cases of ecological risk assessment. The cases include two heavy metals (Cu and Zn) and an anthropogenic organic chemical (DDT). It concludes that there are at least two major constraints hampering the use of laboratory tests to predict effects under natural field conditions. One key issue is bioavailability, and another

Ecological risk assessment (ERA) and hormesis

Science of The Total Environment, 2002
Based on our current state of knowledge, the significance and importance of hormesis is likely to be greater for ecotoxicology, a component of ecological risk assessment (ERA), than for the overall process of ERA. Appropriately determining the role of hormesis in ERA will require extension of hormesis beyond chemical stressors to abiotic (e.g. habitat)
