Abstract

Methodology for risk assessment has been developed on the basis of definition of the detriment for ecosystem as the whole. Species-edificators are considered as the basic component influenced by toxic chemicals. The system of safety criteria for natural communities is proposed, where the quantitative risk scale and actual changes under influence of poisonous and toxic chemicals in community are compared.
