Safety Factors in Pesticide Risk Assessment:Differences in Species Sensitivity and Acute-Chronic Relations
Foreword It has become common practice to protect the environment from hazardous chemicals by use of risk assessment to establish environmental concentration at which only limited damage to the ecosystem can be expected.
