Assessment of QSARS for Predicting Fate and Effects of Chemicals in the Environment: An International European Project.

abstract：:Quantitative structure-property relationship modelling can be a valuable alternative method to replace or reduce experimental testing. In particular, some endpoints such as octanol-water (KOW) and organic carbon-water (KOC) partition coefficients of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are easier to predict and various mo...
