Teen pregnancy is depicted around the world as an important cause of health disparities both for the child and the mother. Accordingly, much effort has been invested in its prevention and led to its decline in the northern hemisphere since the mid-19

Cationic polymer (CP) ecotoxicity is important to understand and investigate as they are widely used in industrial and consumer applications and have shown toxic effects in some aquatic organisms. CPs are identified as “polymers of concern” and a

Publikováno v: Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management

Acute fish toxicity (AFT) is a key endpoint in nearly all regulatory implementations of environmental hazard assessments of chemicals globally. Although it is an early tier assay, the AFT assay is complex and uses many juvenile fish each year for the

SSDs Revisited: Part I—A Framework for Sample Size Guidance on Species Sensitivity Distribution Analysis

Autor: Scott E. Belanger, Gregory J. Carr

Publikováno v: Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry. 38:1514-1525

We propose a framework on sample size for species sensitivity distribution (SSD) analyses, with perspectives on Bayesian, frequentist, and even nonparametric approaches to estimation. The intent of a statistical sample size analysis is to ensure that
