1. Derivation of Hazard Quotient
Risks were characterized using the HQ approach (Nabholz 1991). HQs can be used to characterize the
probability of adverse effects to ecological receptors and often focuses on phylogenetic groups (e.g.,
algae, invertebrates, and fish). HQs are defined as the quotient of the PECs and PNECs:
𝐻𝑄 =
𝑃𝐸𝐶
𝑃𝑁𝐸𝐶
If a PEC is less than a PNEC the likelihood that an organism will be impacted by the ingredient is low.
In contrast, the assumption that an…
