endosulfan: Species Sensitivity Distribution (SSD) for endosulfan

Description

Summary of 48- to 96-hour acute toxicity values (LC50 and EC50 values) for exposure of Australian an Non-Australian taxa to endosulfan.

Usage

data(endosulfan)

Arguments

Format

endosulfan is a data frame with 4 columns, named ATV for Acute Toxicity Value (geometric mean of LC50 ou EC50 values in micrograms per liter), Australian (coding for Australian or another origin), group (arthropods, fish or non-arthropod invertebrates) and taxa.

Examples

Run this code
# (1) load of data
#
data(endosulfan)

# (2) plot and description of data for non Australian fish in decimal logarithm
#
log10ATV <-log10(subset(endosulfan,(Australian == "no") & (group == "Fish"))$ATV)
plotdist(log10ATV)
descdist(log10ATV,boot=1000)

# (3) fit of a normal and a logistic distribution to data in log10
# (classical distributions used for SSD)
# and visual comparison of the fits
#
