Development of analytical methods for the assessment of ecotoxicological relevant soil contamination: Part-B- Ecotoxicological analysis in soil and soil extracts

摘要

Assesment of soil quality based exclusively on chemical analysis is not feasible, because it is impossible to measure all chemical substances including their degradation products which may occur. Therefore risk assessment can only consider those substances and concentration ranges which can actually be detected by chemical analysis. Usually, in hazard assessment effect concentrations (ecotoxicity data) are related to exposure data (soil concentrations of the respective substance).
