Test systems and exposure in the aquatic environment / by W.M.J. Strachan.: En13-5/87-97E-PDF
"The article is an introductory paper for the session on "Testing the Fate of Chemicals in Aquatic Systems" held at the Nordic Seminar on Evaluation of Test Systems for Chemicals in the Aquatic Environment, Smygehamm, in southern Sweden from October 6-8, 1987. It discusses the topic of exposure as it relates to the hazard assessment of chemicals in the aquatic environment. Multicompartment approaches to developing an integrated expression for the concentration levels of environmental chemicals are noted as alternatives to meso-/microcosm methods of describing their fates. Much of the focus of the session is on such test ecosystems and this paper discusses the role of modeling and monitoring as well as presenting information on the approach being used to evaluate hazard and exposure of chemicals in the North American Great Lakes ecosystem"--Abstract.
