Assessing environmental risk of pharmaceuticals

Using the results from the effect studies performed in Tier A, predicted no effect concentrations (PNECs) are derived for the surface water, STP and groundwater compartments, and compared with calculated PEC values (PEC^sub surfacewater^, PEC^sub groundwater^). if one or more of the pec/pnec ratios...

Zusammenfassung:Using the results from the effect studies performed in Tier A, predicted no effect concentrations (PNECs) are derived for the surface water, STP and groundwater compartments, and compared with calculated PEC values (PEC^sub surfacewater^, PEC^sub groundwater^). if one or more of the pec/pnec ratios exceeds the pre-defined trigger values (1 for surface water and groundwater compartments, and 0.1 for the STP), a Tier B assessment should be conducted.
