ABSTRACT
Appendix: Human Toxicological Risk Limits and Integration with ERLs .........253
The focus of this chapter is on deriving environmental risk limits (ERLs) for the protection of ecosystems in the Netherlands and the use of species sensitivity distributions (SSDs) in this procedure. ERLs are used in the Dutch environmental policy for different purposes. This chapter aims to make transparent how the ERLs are derived and for which purposes they are used. The information may thus be useful for interested parties in other countries in developing their own ERLs, by adoption of one or more of the methodologies, or by providing insight into the procedure.
