Characterization of Effects
Abstract
Let us recall that ecological risk evaluation differs from health risk evaluation in two major ways: the human species is the sole object of health risk evaluation, while ecological risk evaluation concerns the millions of species that inhabit the biosphere. ecological risk evaluation concerns all levels of organization of living systems, with a particular interest in effects manifested in communities and ecosystems.
