主　　题：ecological risk assessment guidance USEPA 

摘      要：The scientific approach toward ecological risk assessment (ERA) has advanced greatly during the 1990s. This growth has been accompanied by the development of ERA guidance by USEPA Headquarters, individual USEPA Regions, state environmental agencies, as well as international agencies. This compilation of ERA guidance and procedural documents identifies many of the existing ERA reference materials from the regulatory and/or governmental agency arena. In addition, this compilation provides annotations pertaining to the focus of each reviewed document, and compares/contrasts the approaches presented in the documents. As such, the evaluation provides insight into some of the qualities and levels of detail provided by each document. Examples of documents which are highlighted include recently published USEPA s Guidelines for Ecological Risk Assessment; USEPA s Ecological Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund; the U.S. Army s Procedural Guidelines for Ecological Risk Assessments; and Environment Canada s Ecological Risk Assessments Under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act.
