Figure 3. Transfer of toxicant concentration into general stress levels.

Figure 3

(A) The normalized concentration-response curves from all investigated studies are depicted as points, the fitted concentration-response model for the average concentration-response curve as red line and the corresponding standard error as light red lines. (B) Shows the relationship of general stress levels and the population survival according to equation 4 of the SAM. (C) Identifies the resulting mortality-related link between concentration levels from the average normalized concentration-response curve and the general stress level. The relationship indicates that low toxicant concentrations disproportionally increase the general stress compared to high toxicant concentrations.
