‘These cause ecotoxicological effects directly, through toxicity to nontarget organisms and ecosystems, and indirectly, by changing habitat or the abundance of food species of wildlife.’
‘Such a prediction may be directly interpreted as a form of risk assessment or, alternatively, these pairs (toxicological harm/exposure) could then be related to a conventional scale of ecotoxicological risk, for example from 1 to 10.’
‘In addition, because rotifers are relatively easy to culture and sensitive to pollutants they have become important tools in ecotoxicological testing.’
‘Sediment evaluation along the stream supplies a diagnosis of the ecotoxicological impact on the area because certain groups of compounds with toxic and genotoxic properties are deposited over time.’
‘This inverse relationship between resistance and resilience is of particular importance in ecotoxicological respect.’
