EXTRACT: Biology as important as chemistry in assessing toxic mixtures
Researchers have developed the first biology-based model to predict the
sub-lethal effects of chemical mixtures on organisms. Sub-lethal effects do
not cause death but can damage processes such as growth and
reproduction. The model provided accurate predictions of the sub-lethal
impacts of a chemical mixture on water fleas.
