| Abstract |
A number of alternatives for pre-screening chemicals for their potential to inflict environmental hazards were considered. A system design concept which takes into account both the toxicity of the chemical and the eventual levels which it can be expected to reach in the environment was selected for further analysis. Although neither toxicity nor eventual levels can be predicted with great accuracy, the accuracy attainable by simple methods appeared adequate for selecting and prioritizing chemicals for additional investigation. A specific design which relies on data which is usually available was developed to the point of testing the feasibility of collecting the necessary data and performing the required computations on five chemicals. |
