摘要

Ecological risk assessments are intended to evaluate the likelihood that adverse ecological effects may occur as a result of exposure to one or more stressors (USEPA 1992). Typically, at the first tiers, risks are evaluated for individual taxonomic groups (e.g., freshwater fish, upland game birds, or terrestrial plants) using surrogate species. At higher levels of refinement, risks to individual taxa may be further integrated to determine whether there are effects to the community. However, risk assessments are typically conducted at the taxon level (USEPA 2004). The intent of this chapter is to describe a proposed method for estimating risk to honey bees (Apis mellifera) and non-Apis bees from pesticides that are applied via sprays (acting on contact) and via seed or soil treatments and tree trunk injections (acting systemically).In general, a pesticide risk assessment process is used for evaluating new compounds or new products entering the market or those compounds undergoing re-evaluation, as in the 10-year process of re-evaluation in the European Union (EU) or in North America where chemicals are re-evaluated every 15 years. As with risk assessments for other taxonomic groups, the proposed risk assessment method described in this document makes use of surrogate species. The ecological risk assessment process described consists of a series of steps or phases, which are intended to be iterative where information gathered at each step is evaluated against the protection goals. The risk assessment process consists of a problem formulation (Phase 1), analysis (Phase 2), and riskcharacterization (Phase 3). This generic process is depicted in Figure 10.1. In Phase 1, problem formulation, measurement endpoints are identified in relation to protection goals and corresponding assessment endpoints, a conceptual model is prepared, and an analysis plan is developed. Based on the conceptual model and its associated risk hypothesis, the analysis plan articulates how the risk hypothesis will be tested. In Phase 2, analysis, available measures of exposure and measures of effect are evaluated. Through environmental fate data, the movement of a stressor (i.e., the pesticide and relevant transformation and breakdown products) in the environment is characterized; this is frequently termed the' exposure characterization or exposure profile.Similarly, the potential acute and chronic effects of a chemical are characterized in what is frequently termed the stressor-response profile. Additionally, the proposed or existing uses of a compound are characterized and, based on these uses and the environmental fate of the compound, predicted or estimated environmental concentrations (PEC or EEC) are derived.
