Re-Evaluation of the State of the Science for Water-Quality Criteria Development: Proceedings from the Pellston Workshop on Re-Evaluation of the State ... Fairmont (Setac Special Publications Series)

The workshop proceedings presented here were sponsored by the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry with the intention of evaluating how ecological risk assessment concepts can be used to reformulate water-quality criteria and methods. Workgroups were tasked with developing a conceptual model, identifying problems and research needs, and proposing solutions. They addressed such issues as the level of exposure concentration needed to assess effects, the responses of aquatic populations to chemical exposures, and methodologies of risk characterization.
