摘要：
While it is being used as such, the sediment quality guideline ERL (effects range low) is not a threshold of any chemical concentration in sediment at which the probability of toxicity shows an abrupt increase. Similarly, while it has been done, there is no basis for assuming that multiple concentrations above an ERL increase the probability of toxicity. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
