Indicator quality for multidisciplinary systems.

Novartis Foundation symposium

Riley J.
PMID: 10231831
Novartis Found Symp. 1999;220:178-86; discussion 186-90. doi: 10.1002/9780470515600.ch10.

In January 1998, a project studying the Unification of Indicator Quality for Assessment of Impact of Multidisciplinary Systems (UNIQUAIMS) began at IACR-Rothamsted. This three year European Union-funded project will examine the choice of indicators for the assessment of the...

Field screening test methods: performance criteria and performance characteristics.

Journal of hazardous materials

Song R, Schlecht PC, Ashley K.
PMID: 11267743
J Hazard Mater. 2001 May 07;83(1):29-39. doi: 10.1016/s0304-3894(00)00325-3.

Field-portable test methods may be quantitative, semi-quantitative, or qualitative and screening methods are often used in the field to determine if the concentration of a toxic substance exceeds regulatory or recommended standards or action levels. For on-site analysis, accurate...

What is meant by risk-based environmental quality criteria?.

Integrated environmental assessment and management

Suter GW, Cormier SM.
PMID: 18593215
Integr Environ Assess Manag. 2008 Oct;4(4):486-9. doi: 10.1897/IEAM_2008-017.1.

Criteria for the quality of water and other media are often said to be risk based. However, the relationship between the process of criterion setting and risk assessment has not been clear. This article shows that the conventional framework...

The influence of resilience-based management on coral reef monitoring: A systematic review.

PloS one

Lam VY, Doropoulos C, Mumby PJ.
PMID: 28187165
PLoS One. 2017 Feb 10;12(2):e0172064. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0172064. eCollection 2017.

With rapid changes taking place on coral reefs, managers and scientists are faced with prioritising interventions that might avoid undesirable losses in ecosystem health. The property of resilience captures how reefs react and respond to stressors and environmental changes....

[International applications and experiences in biological monitoring: state of the art].

Giornale italiano di medicina del lavoro ed ergonomia

PMID: 22073674
G Ital Med Lav Ergon. 2011 Jul-Sep;33(3):276-8.

Biological monitoring (BM) represents one of the most dynamic areas of research in occupational health today. From a few tens of articles published yearly in the 70s and 80s, there are now several thousand papers published in the peer...

Revising Environmental Quality Standards: Lessons Learned.

Integrated environmental assessment and management

Korkaric M, Junghans M, Pasanen-Kase R, Werner I.
PMID: 31310040
Integr Environ Assess Manag. 2019 Nov;15(6):948-960. doi: 10.1002/ieam.4192.

An environmental quality standard (EQS) is a threshold value applied in regulatory monitoring for retrospective environmental risk assessment. However, an EQS may vary with time and between countries with shared water bodies, challenging coherent risk management. This study aimed...

How should success be measured in ecological risk assessment? The importance of predictive accuracy.

Journal of toxicology and environmental health

Burger J.
PMID: 8051712
J Toxicol Environ Health. 1994 Aug;42(4):367-76. doi: 10.1080/15287399409531888.

The process of human health risk assessment (HRA) is often judged by its ability to predict adverse outcomes of particular environmental contaminants or exposures for individual humans. Likewise, environmental scientists often examine the adverse outcomes of chemical or physical...

The Known and Unknown about the Environmental Safety of Nanomaterials in Commerce.

Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)

Klaper RD.
PMID: 32407002
Small. 2020 Sep;16(36):e2000690. doi: 10.1002/smll.202000690. Epub 2020 May 14.

The widespread nanomaterial use in commercial products has fed significant concern over environmental health and safety ramifications. Initially, little was known as to how these highly reactive particulates interacted with biological systems. Nanomaterials have introduced complexities not normally considered...

A legal and ecological perspective of 'site integrity' to inform policy development and management of Special Areas of Conservation in Europe.

Marine pollution bulletin

Rees SE, Sheehan EV, Jackson EL, Gall SC, Cousens SL, Solandt JL, Boyer M, Attrill MJ.
