<strong>The</strong> value <strong>of</strong> the potential effects to the biota <strong>of</strong> the substances would then beestimated as the addition <strong>of</strong> the ratio PEC/PNEC for these two organisms, as it ispresented in Eq. 7BiotaHealt hRisk PEC / PNECD PEC / PNECC(7)Where:Biota Health Risk (dimensionless)PEC = Predicted Environmental ConcentrationPNECD = Predicted Non Effect Concentration for Daphnia sp.PNECC = Predicted Non Effect Concentration for Cyprinus carpioLater on, it is mentioned how the PEC value was obtained.Both for the health and biological risk, environmental dangerousness increases whenincreasing its values. Following the CHEMS model, it is then conducted theaddition <strong>of</strong> human health risk to the biota risk (Human + Biota Health Risk).Table 2.
