Modeling the environmental fate of nanomaterials (NMs) and their uptake by cells and
organisms in the environment is essential to underpin experimental research, develop …

Uptake and elimination kinetics of metals in soil invertebrates are a function of both soil and
organism properties. This study critically reviewed metal toxicokinetics in soil invertebrates …

Toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic models (TKTD models) simulate the time-course of processes
leading to toxic effects on organisms. Even for an apparently simple endpoint as survival, a …

Communities of microarthropods, especially those in forest soils with a well-developed litter
and humus layer, are characterized by a great diversity of species. The intricate …

Exposure to arsenic-contaminated drinking water is a major threat to human health. Millions
of people across the world are exposed to arsenic-contaminated drinking water with …

Earthworms may take up chemicals from soil and pore water, both through their skin
(dermal) and by ingestion (oral). It remains unclear, however, what the relative importance of …

Understanding the toxicity of chemicals to organisms requires considering the molecular
mechanisms involved as well as the relationships between exposure concentration and …

Exposure of aquatic nontarget organisms to pesticides almost always occurs as pulses or
fluctuating concentrations. Extrapolation from laboratory to field thus depends on an …

It is often argued that the concentration of a pollutant inside an organism is a good indicator
of its bioavailability, however, we show that the rate of uptake, not the concentration itself, is …

Within the frame of a large environmental study, we report on a research program that
investigated the potential for bioaccumulation and subsequent effect responses in several …
