Ligand Model

Biotic ligand model (BLM) is a tool with the consideration of aquatic organism would have interaction with metals in different forms. Water chemical characteristics would also have some influence with bioavailability. In this study, BLM’s theoretical basis and realization process were discussed in detail, followed by the application status of the model. Finally, current challenges and future direction of BLM were pointed out. BLM assumes that the biological effect happens during the chemical equilibrium, which means that the model might only explain the acute toxicity results.
