ABSTRACT
A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help.
Albert Schweitzer Out of My Life and Thought, New American Library, 1964
Ecological risk assessment addresses the parts of NEPA that require protection of the environment. Thus far, in this textbook, human health has been the sole focus. This chapter is devoted to ecological risk assessment-protection of biota in the wild and the ecosystems they inhabit.
