Abstract

On the basis of physico-chemical data, such as water solubility and vapour pressure as well as acute toxicity tests we developed an ecotoxicological model for preliminary hazard assessment. By use of the reciprocal product from log H and LCS0 we developed a suitable ranking system that allows us to predict potential damage to aquatic organisms through pesticides.
