Application of the target lipid and equilibrium partitioning models to non-polar organic chemicals in soils and sediments

Jan 21, 2014

The Target Lipid Model (TLM) provides a framework for deriving predicted no effect concentrations (PNEC) for non polar organic chemicals to organisms in the environment. This approach has been used to perform environmental risk assessment of individual hydrocarbons as...

Supplementary guidance for the investigation and risk-assessment of potentially contaminated sediments: a companion volume to Energy Institute

Report no. 11/13: This report provides guidance on the investigation and assessment of potentially contaminated sediments, focusing on the inland, estuarine and coastal environments. It is designed as a complementary, technical companion document to Energy Institute...

Challenges in addressing phototoxicity and photodegradation in the environmental risk assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the aquatic compartment

Oct 21, 2013

Report no. 9/13: This report summarises how light might interact with Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) to alter both their environmental fate and their potential to cause adverse effects. The quantification of these changes is complicated due to the...
