Ecological Benchmark for Chemicals
Abstract
The Ecological Benchmark Tool dataset serves as a comprehensive repository of benchmarks designed to assess ecological risks at contaminated sites. This tool facilitates the evaluation of various environmental media and contaminants, supporting regulatory compliance and ecological protection. Benchmarks are available for air, biota, sediment, soil, and surface water. The dataset also provides species-specific benchmarks for fish, plants, birds, mammals, and invertebrates. Users can select benchmark sources, media, individual chemicals, and retrieve results in tabular or spreadsheet formats for analysis. Benchmarks are derived from authoritative sources, including government agencies, scientific councils, and academic publications. The dataset supports ecological risk assessments, regulatory decision-making, and environmental planning, with tools for benchmarking against chemical thresholds, sensitive species protection, and habitat impact evaluations. This structured approach ensures a robust evaluation of ecological risks tailored to site-specific and regulatory needs.
