It is a qualitative,

Significance and Use4.1 This guide assumes that a decision has been made thatan ecological risk assessment is required for a contaminatedsite.

30、In some cases, this decision could be made before any sitedata are collected.4.2 The selection of assessment endpoints (defined as eco-logical values to be protected) and measurement endpoints(ecological characteristics related to the assessment endpoints)is a critical step in conducting an ecologic

31、al risk assessment.Endpoint selection identifies those effects which are ecologi-cally significant and not merely those that are adverse, thusproviding a more rational and defensible basis for making riskand remedial decisions.4.3 This guide provides an approach for identifying, select-ing and using

32、 assessment and measurement endpoints in anecological risk assessment for a contaminated site. This guidehas been developed because there is no universal, simplemeasure of ecological health analogous to measures used inhuman health risk assessment. Assessment and measurementendpoints have to be iden

33、tified and selected from a variety ofindividual circumstances on a stressor-, ecosystem- and scale-specific basis. It is important to recognize that a diverse set ofecological endpoints could be required for a specific site.4.4 This guide is intended to be used primarily by abiologist, ecologist, ec

34、otoxicologist, or a team of environmen-tal scientists during problem formulation and work plandevelopment prior to initiating data collection activities at acontaminated site (3-8, 10).4.5 Ecological risk assessment is usually an iterative pro-cess. In many circumstances it proceeds as a series of t

General Considerations5.1 Ecological risk assessment is a process of evaluatingrisks to individuals (in the case

38、 of threatened or endangeredspecies or those afforded special protection), populations,communities and ecosystems exposed to chemical and non-chemical stressors. Stressors can act individually or togetherover multiple ecosystem types and diverse spatial scales.Conditions of the site and risk assessm

39、ent that should beconsidered in identifying and selecting assessment and mea-surement endpoints include (2,3):5.1.1 Stressor CharacteristicsTypes, properties, intensity,interactions, and spatial and temporal patterns;5.1.2 Ecosystem TypesAquatic, terrestrial, and wetlandsand their subcategories (for

40、 example, marine);5.1.3 Spatial ScaleThe exposure area over which theexposure to the stressor occurs and direct and indirect ecologi-cal effects are potentially produced;5.1.4 Temporal ScaleThe expected duration of exposure(acute to chronic) to the stressor, direct and indirect ecologicaleffects, an

41、d recovery time following removal of the stressor;5.1.5 Ecological OrganizationThe level of biological or-ganization (individual, population, community, or ecosystem)at which risk to an ecological receptor is to be assessed; and5.1.6 Functionality/ValuesSite-specific factors contribut-ing to the imp

42、ortance of local ecological receptors.5.2 Assessment and measurement endpoints are selected forspecific ecosystem and stressor combinations associated with asite. Assessment and measurement endpoints may addressmultiple ecosystem and habitat types, spatial and temporalscales, and levels of ecologica

43、l organization.5.3 The conceptual site model describes sources, releasesand transport pathways for contaminants present at a site. Thisinformation is used to define exposure pathways and exposureareas and is usually developed before identifying and selectingendpoints. Assessment and measurement endp

Desirable Characteristics of Assessment andMeasurement Endpoints6.1 Desirable characteristics of assessment endpointsinclude, but are not limited to, the following (2,3):6.1.1 Relevant to decision-making, local public c
