Opis

How can environmental regulators use information on 48-hour toxicity tests to predict the impacts of a few minutes of pollution? Or, at the other extreme, what is the relevance of 96-hour toxicity data for organisms that may have been exposed to a pollutant for six months or a couple of years? The key to answering these types of questions lies in the time-course of toxic effect. Risk Assessment with Time to Event Models is the first comprehensive treatment of these time-to event methods in the context of ecological risk assessment. Leading experts from industry, academia, and government regulatory agencies explain how these methods can be used to improve risk assessment.
