Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety is an open-access peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Elsevier. The editors-in-chief are Richard Handy (University of Plymouth) and Bing Yan (Guangzhou University). Established in 1977, the journal has published in open-access since 2021. [1]
Ecotoxicology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering ecotoxicology. It was established in 1992 and is published ten times per year by Springer Science+Business Media. The editor-in-chief is Lee R. Shugart. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2015 impact factor of 2.329. [1]
Ecotoxicity, the subject of study in the field of ecotoxicology (a portmanteau of ecology and toxicology), refers to the biological, chemical or physical stressors that affect ecosystems. Such stressors can occur in the natural environment at densities, concentrations, or levels high enough to disrupt natural biochemical and physiological ...
[1] [2] Ecotoxicology is a subdiscipline of environmental toxicology concerned with studying the harmful effects of toxicants at the population and ecosystem levels. Rachel Carson is considered the mother of environmental toxicology, as she made it a distinct field within toxicology in 1962 with the publication of her book Silent Spring , which ...
The Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part C: Environmental Carcinogenesis and Ecotoxicology Reviews is a biannual peer-reviewed scientific journal covering environmental health as it relates to carcinogenesis and toxicology. It was established in 1976 and is published by Taylor & Francis.
Ecotoxicology is a relatively young discipline that made its debuts in the 1970s [2] in the realm of the environmental sciences. Its methodological aspects, derived from toxicology, are widened to encompass the human environmental field and the biosphere at large.
The half-life for pesticides is explained in two NPIC fact sheets. Known degradation pathways are through: photolysis, chemical dissociation, sorption, bioaccumulation and plant or animal metabolism. [46] [47] A USDA fact sheet published in 1994 lists the soil adsorption coefficient and soil half-life for then-commonly used pesticides. [48] [49]
[1] [2] [3] PNEC values are often used in environmental risk assessment as a tool in ecotoxicology. [1] [3] [4] A PNEC for a chemical can be calculated with acute toxicity or chronic toxicity single-species data, Species Sensitivity Distribution (SSD) multi-species data, field data or model ecosystems data. Depending on the type of data used ...
