A framework for the derivation of environmental quality guidelines that protect apex marine mammals from persistent organic pollutants (POPS) / Kathleen McTavish, Juan José Alava, Tanya Brown, Magaidh...: Fs97-6/3582E-PDF
"In this framework, available marine mammal data are combined with rodent data generated for human health assessments to support a weight of evidence approach to guideline development. Ecological modelling is then used to calculate a cohesive set of EQGs for the protection of apex marine mammals from organic PBTs. We suggest that this draft framework serve as a basis for an operational protocol at the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) and other agencies"--Abstract, page viii.
