| Abstract |
Microbial transformation rate data and theoretical considerations were analyzed for selected organic chemicals with respect to the general utility of mathematical models for predicting microbial transformation rates for risk assessment and regulatory purposes. By recognizing the unique problems associated with predicting microbial transformation rates within specific substrate concentration ranges, (S), the research, development, and testing of predictive mathematical models for environmental exposure assessment can be better focused. Lacking site-specific data, such an approach may yield useful interim models to meet our current needs as our understanding of environmental processes continues towards developing models more capable of accurately predicting microbial rates over broader ranges of conditions.
