Hazard assessment of a compound (xenobiotic) discharged to the
aquatic environment requires data on both exposure and effects to
various components of the ecosystem. The multitude of ecological
gradients in the Baltic Sea is used as a background example for
discussing the complexity of the issue and the need for new
approaches. Therefore, this book attempts to go beyond the
simplistic, standardized short-term laboratory tests traditionally
used as a basis for hazard assessment of chemicals, and gives
strong emphasis to the interpretation of ecotoxicological data in
their real, ecological context, pointing out the need to consider
the natural mortality distribution of the population under study,
the role of keystone species and of species with broad ecological
niches versus those with narrow, specialized niches.
