| Abstract: | Purpose The present study presents data on the screening phase (tier 1) of a site-specific ecological risk assessment in a former
smelter area heavily contaminated with metals (Santo Amaro, Bahia, Brazil). Joining information from three lines of evidence
(LoE), chemical, ecotoxicological, and ecological, integrated risk values were calculated to rank sites within the area and
identify those that may need further investigation in tier 2. |
