Conclusions; Glossary; Index; Back coverWhile current methods used in ecological risk assessments for pesticides are largely deterministic, probabilistic methods that aim to quantify variability and uncertainty in exposure and effects are attracting growing interest from industries and governments. Probabilistic methods offer more realistic and meaningful estimates of risk and hence, potentially, a better basis for decision-making. Application of Uncertainty Analysis to Ecological Risks of Pesticides examines the applicability of probabilistic methods for ecological risk assessment for pesticides and explores thePesticidesEnvironmental aspectsMathematical modelsEcological risk assessmentProbabilitiesPesticidesEnvironmental aspectsMathematical models.Ecological risk assessment.Probabilities.577.27/9015118Warren-Hicks William1760639Hart Andy1956-1609701MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817887903321Application of uncertainty analysis to ecological risk of pesticides4199711UNINA
