Klappentext "Proceedings of a Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) European workshop that took place in Leipzig! Germany! September 9 to 12! 2007."--P. xvii. Zusammenfassung Presents a science-based view on ecological modeling for regulatory risk assessments. This book discusses the benefits of modeling in the context of registrations, identifies the obstacles that prevent ecological modeling being used routinely in regulatory submissions, and explores the actions needed to overcome these obstacles.
