Abstract

In ecotoxicological risk assessment, the estimation of a Species Sensitivity Distribution (SSD) is a routine method used to derive hazardous levels of concentrations for chemical substances. Here, we propose a Bayesian hierarchical approach leading to the definition of a new SSD. Our approach allows to use all information available at chemical-class-species levels to make inferential decisions. We estimate parameters via computer-intensive methods based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, and we propose a way to derive the estimates of concern levels of toxicants that could be easily adopted in ecotoxicological risk management.
