Presentation of a general algorithm to include secondary poisoning in effect assessment

A general algorithm for effect assessment on secondary poisoning for birds and mammals is presented. This algorithm (Maximum Permissible Concentration = NOEC bird/mammai/BCF) was drawn up by analysing an aquatic food chain (water - fish - bird or mammal) and a terrestrial food chain (soil - worm - b...

Zusammenfassung:	A general algorithm for effect assessment on secondary poisoning for birds and mammals is presented. This algorithm (Maximum Permissible Concentration = NOEC bird/mammai/BCF) was drawn up by analysing an aquatic food chain (water - fish - bird or mammal) and a terrestrial food chain (soil - worm - bird or mammal). NOECs and bioconcentration factors (BCFs) were collected for a set of selected compounds: lindane, dieldrin, cadmium and mercury in both water and soil, PCB153 only in water and DDT and PCP only in soil. BCFs for the terrestrial pathway are frequently
