The development and demonstration of integrated models for the evaluation of severe accident management strategies—SAMEM

Applying AQUATOX in determining the ecological risk assessment of polychlorinated biphenyl contamination in Baiyangdian Lake, North China

“…Its usage may be the only option when assessing chemical effects under conditions where field experiments cannot be carried out (Ang et al, 2001). Examples of such ecological risk models are the Integrated Fate and Effect Model (IFEM) (Bartell et al, 1988), the Littoral Ecosystem Risk Assessment Model (LERAM) (Hanratty and Liber, 1996), the Comprehensive Aquatic Systems Model (CASM) (Bartell et al, 1999), CATS-5 (Traas et al, 2001), CASM SUWA (Naito et al, 2002), and AQUATOX (Park, 1990;Clough, 2004, 2012).…”

Prediction of the Physico-Chemical Interactions of Vimtim Stream Water Quality using the Aquatox Model

“…In contrast to the high cost for multimedia monitoring and toxicity tests, and the need for rapid forecasting analysis, a comprehensive aquatic ecological system model would be cost-effective, fast, and a suitable evaluation tool [4,3]. An ecological model, which can be defined as a simplified representation of a specific ecological system, may be the only option for assessing chemical effects under circumstances where field experiments cannot be conducted [5]. Some reviews concerning the use of ecological models in ecological risk assessment have been published [6][7][8][9][10].…”

Prediction of the environmental fate and aquatic ecological impact of nitrobenzene in the Songhua River using the modified AQUATOX model

“…ecological system model would be cost-effective, fast, and a suitable evaluation tool (He et al, 2001;Naito et al, 2003). An ecological model, which can be defined as a simplified representation of a specific ecological system, may be the only option for assessing chemical effects under circumstances where field experiments cannot be conducted (Ang et al, 2001). Some reviews concerning the use of ecological models in ecological risk assessment have been published (Bartell et al, 1999;Ray et al, 2001;Kumblad et al, 2003;Chow et al, 2005;Larocque et al, 2006).…”
