An alternative approach to risk rank chemicals on the threat they pose to the aquatic environment
This paper proposed an alternative approach for ranking chemicals by the threat they pose to aquatic ecosystems, integrating exposure and hazard data in a more ecologically meaningful way than standard risk quotient methods.
State of the Art of Triad-Based Ecological Risk Assessment: Current Limitations and Needed Implementations in the Case of Soil Diffuse Contamination
This review examines the triad approach for ecological risk assessment in soils facing diffuse contamination, synthesizing the literature on its applications to terrestrial ecosystems and identifying current limitations when dealing with chronic low-level mixtures of micropollutants. The authors recommend improvements to the triad methodology to better address complex, real-world soil contamination scenarios.
Chemical Mixtures and Multiple Stressors: Same but Different?
This review highlights the parallels between chemical mixture research and multiple stressor ecology, arguing that both fields face similar challenges in predicting joint effects and would benefit from integrated frameworks combining chemical and non-chemical stressor assessments.
Ecotoxicological and Chemical Approach to Assessing Environmental Effects from Pesticide Use in Organic and Conventional Rice Paddies
Researchers evaluated the environmental impact of plant protection products in seven conventional and organic rice paddies in northern Italy over two years using integrated chemical analysis and ecotoxicological hazard assessment supported by statistical tools. They found a direct relationship between the presence of the herbicide Oxadiazon in water samples and ecotoxicological bioassay responses, demonstrating that the integrated approach better captures environmental risk than traditional tabular evaluation methods.
Integrative Evaluation of the Ecological Hazards by Microplastics and Heavy Metals in Wetland Ecosystem
Researchers conducted an integrative ecological hazard assessment of microplastics combined with heavy metals, evaluating their combined toxicity to aquatic organisms. The study found that co-contamination with heavy metals and microplastics poses greater ecological risk than either pollutant alone.
Development of Ecosystem Health Assessment (EHA) and Application Method: A Review
This review traces the development of ecosystem health assessment methods, comparing biological indicator approaches and index system methods and analyzing how they have been applied to assess the health of aquatic, terrestrial, and urban ecosystems under anthropogenic stress.
Complex Mixtures and Multiple Stressors: Evaluating Combined Chemical Exposures and Cumulative Toxicity
This review examined how complex chemical mixtures and multiple stressors interact to produce cumulative toxicity, highlighting that traditional single-chemical risk assessments underestimate real-world exposure risks where organisms face simultaneous pollutant combinations.
Landscape Ecological Risk Assessment Based on Land Use Change in the Yellow River Basin of Shaanxi, China
Researchers assessed landscape ecological risk in the Yellow River Basin of Shaanxi, China using land use change data, finding that fragmentation and conversion of natural habitats driven by urbanization and agriculture have substantially increased ecological risk across the basin over recent decades.
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Soil and Vegetation of Niger Delta, Nigeria: Ecological Risk Assessment
Researchers assessed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contamination in soils and vegetation across Nigeria's Niger Delta, finding elevated PAH levels in both matrices near oil exploration sites with ecological risk indices indicating significant environmental concern.
Application of pressure–state–response approach for developing criteria and indicators of ecological health assessment of wetlands: a multi-temporal study in Ichhamati floodplains, India
Researchers developed and tested a comprehensive 105-indicator framework for assessing the ecological health of tropical floodplain wetlands in eastern India, applying it across seven sites over multiple years. The results showed that agriculture-dominated wetlands were the most degraded, while fishing-dominated wetlands fared better, offering a replicable tool for wetland management in similar regions.
Study on the Accumulation of Heavy Metals in Different Soil-Crop Systems and Ecological Risk Assessment: A Case Study of Jiao River Basin
Researchers assessed heavy metal accumulation in four crops (wheat, corn, potatoes, and leeks) and soils from the Jiao River Basin, evaluating ecological risk from eight heavy metals including copper, lead, cadmium, and arsenic. The study found that cadmium and arsenic posed the highest ecological risks, with crop type influencing heavy metal uptake patterns.
History and Future Perspectives of Ecological Hazard and Risk Assessment of Chemicals Focusing on Mixtures
This review traces the history of ecological hazard and risk assessment of chemical mixtures in Japan, documenting how regulatory frameworks evolved from fish acute toxicity testing for pesticides toward broader assessments of industrial chemicals and mixture toxicity following OECD guidance.
A new holistic perspective to assess the ecological risk of microplastics: A case study in Baiyangdian Basin, China
Researchers developed a more comprehensive method for assessing the ecological risks of microplastic pollution by considering not just concentration but also the physical and chemical properties of the particles. Applied to a Chinese wetland basin, the approach revealed that traditional methods significantly underestimate the true ecological risk, with human activity and poor water flow contributing to the highest danger zones.
Ecological risk assessment of emerging contaminants on soil and terrestrial ecosystems (2005-2024): a bibliometric and scientometric review.
A 20-year (2005–2024) bibliometric review of ecological risk assessment studies on emerging contaminants identified key trends and gaps in understanding the risks of microplastics, pharmaceuticals, and other pollutants to soil and terrestrial ecosystems. The review found rapid growth in the field but persistent data gaps on long-term ecosystem-level effects.
[Research Process on the Combined Pollution of Microplastics and Typical Pollutants in Agricultural Soils].
This review examined research on the combined pollution of microplastics and typical agricultural pollutants including pesticides, heavy metals, and fertilizers in agroecosystems. The paper discussed how co-existing pollutants interact with microplastics to create compound pollution with elevated ecological and human health risks.
Assessment of ecological risk for ecosystems caused by dredged materials in freshwater environments
Researchers assessed ecological risks posed by chemical contaminants in dredged freshwater sediments, evaluating metals, organic pollutants, and emerging contaminants including microplastics across multiple risk metrics to inform safe disposal and management decisions.
Aquatic ecosystem indices, linking ecosystem health to human health risks
Researchers reviewed indicators used to assess aquatic ecosystem health and found that most existing tools don't adequately capture the risks that degraded water ecosystems pose to human health and well-being. They propose a new set of combined indicators — covering chemical contaminants, pathogens, and biological markers — to better link ecosystem health monitoring to human health outcomes.
A New Method for Environmental Risk Assessment of Pollutants Based on Multi-dimensional Risk Factors
Researchers proposed a new synthetic risk factor (SRF) method for environmental risk assessment that integrates toxicity endpoint values, environmental exposure levels, persistence properties, and compartment-specific features across multiple environmental media into a single multi-dimensional evaluation framework. The approach addresses a key limitation of traditional chemical risk assessment methods that assess toxicity and exposure without accounting for persistent pollutant behavior across different environmental compartments.
Assessing land-use impacts on a 5th-order tropical river using multiple environmental indicators
Researchers combined multiple environmental indicators to assess the health of a tropical river system in Brazil affected by land-use change from agriculture and urbanization. Rivers in degraded landscapes also carry higher microplastic loads, and multi-indicator approaches provide a more complete picture of ecosystem health.
