Probability distributions of species sensitivities describe variation among species in response to toxicants. These distributions indicate what proportion of species assemblage is expected to suffer adverse effects upon toxicant exposure. Sensitivity distributions demonstrate how representative mode

## Abstract Seeking to make greater use of available data for risk assessment of substances, we constructed, for the situation in which chronic data are limited or even nonexistent but acute data are relatively large, an acute to chronic transformation (ACT) methodology based on the concept of spec
## Abstract Toxicity data for tropical species are often lacking for ecological risk assessment. Consequently, tropical and subtropical countries use water quality criteria (WQC) derived from temperate species (e.g., United States, Canada, or Europe) to assess ecological risks in their aquatic syst
