TL;DR: This journal issue includes papers that describe recent advances with regard to the development of the biotic ligand model and represents a distinct milestone in the ongoing evolution of the BLM approach and, more generally, of approaches to performing ecological assessments for metals in aquatic systems.

Framework for metals risk assessment.
TL;DR: The Framework for Metals Risk Assessment is a science-based document that describes basic principles that address the special attributes and behaviors of metals and metal compounds to be considered when assessing their human health and ecological risks.

Bioavailability of trace metals to aquatic microorganisms: importance of chemical, biological and physical processes on biouptake.
TL;DR: The prediction of trace metal bioavailability will require multidisciplinary advances in the understanding of the reactions occurring at and near the biological interface, and by taking into account medium constraints and biological adaptability, future bioavailability modeling will certainly become more robust.

Predicting availability of mineral elements to plants with the DGT technique: a review of experimental data and interpretation by modelling
TL;DR: In this article, a review examines the fundamental basis for the relation between DGT fluxes and plant uptake and assesses under which conditions this relation may break down, concluding that if plant uptake is not limited by diffusion, interpretation of the observed correlation in terms of the labile species measured by DGT is inappropriate.

Hazard/Risk Assessment BIOTIC LIGAND MODEL OF THE ACUTE TOXICITY OF METALS. 1. TECHNICAL BASIS
Dominic M. Di Toro,H Erbert E. Allen,Harold L. Bergman,Joseph S. Meyer,Paul R. Paquin,Robert C. Santore +5 more
TL;DR: The biotic ligand model of acute metal toxicity to aquatic organisms is based on the idea that mortality occurs when the metal-biotic ligand complex reaches a critical concentration, a generalization of the free ion activity model that relates toxicity to the concentration of the divalent metal cation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Free-Ion Activity Model (FIAM) was used to model the relationship between trace metals and aquatic organisms, and the results showed that metal toxicity in aquatic organisms can be predicted from bioassays.
