Temporal and spatial variations in the effect-based ecotoxicological assessment of streams by Delia Hof, Thomas Bing, Sebastian Heß, Jens Mayer, Jörg Oehlmann, Matthias Oetken

“…Conclusions Bioassays record ecotoxicological effects on the basis of specific modes of action, allowing whole groups of substances to be identified as pollutants. Recording ecotoxicological status in this way is a useful complement to water assessment tools and can contribute to successful water management. …”
