- QSARs for Predicting Cation Toxicity, Bioconcentration, Biosorption, and Binding

This chapter discusses quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) for predicting cation toxicity, bioconcentration, biosorption, and binding strength. Several approaches were used to identify these QSARs. First, the test systems, test substances, QSARs, and statistical analyses of each QSAR were extracted from the references cited by Walker et al. (2003). These efforts produced 21 references associated with 97 QSARs for predicting cation toxicities (Table 5.1). These QSARs are discussed in more detail in chapter Sections 5.2, 5.3, and 5.5.
