Abstract:Since the soil quality Tool for Risk Identification, Assessment and Display approach introduced the “three lines of evidence” accounting for chemical, toxicological and ecological stressors to explain adverse effects in biota, the assessment of contaminant risks in the environment has significantly evolved. The concept of chemical speciation, related to water characteristics, boosted the understanding of the role of free-ion activities in the overall accumulation of pollutants in biota. New modeling concepts (… Show more
