Reassessment of Metals Criteria for Aquatic Life Protection Priorities for Research and Implementation Proceedings of the Pellston Workshop on Reassessment - SETAC Technical Publications Series Author:Pellston Workshop on Reassessment of Metals Criteria for Aquatic Life, Harold L. Bergman, Elaine J. Dorward-King Metals toxicology, environmental chemistry, chemical fate modeling, and regulatory practice converge in this reassessment of the scientific and engineering basis for regulating metals in the aquatic environment. Forty participants in a SETAC workshop noted the scientific- and regulated-community consensus that a departure is needed from purely o... more »bservational and empirical evaluation of organism response to metal exposure. Instead, sound permitting decisions demand input from mathematical models that integrate fundamental changes in target tissue with site-specific metal chemistry and that link to receiving stream exposure models.« less
