Application of Uncertainty Analysis to Ecological Risks of Pesticides (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Warren-Hicks, William J.; Hart, Andy

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

While current methods used in ecological risk assessments for pesticides are largely deterministic, probabilistic methods that aim to quantify variability and uncertainty in exposure and effects are attracting growing interest from industries and governments. Probabilistic methods offer more realistic and meaningful estimates of risk and hence, pot
