Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Assessments on combination effects are valid only with making clear reference to a definite and pharmacologically sound concept on expected effects. To test the predictive value of the concept of concentration addition, algal toxicities of 29 binary mixtures of 9 different pesticides were analyzed. For 85% of these mixtures results were consistent with concentration additivity. Thus, in case experimental data on the toxicity of a specific mixture are lacking, concentration additivity may be a reasonable assumption in hazard assessment procedures.
