Abstract
Ecotoxicology belongs to one of the new ecological branches, which emerged as a consequence of the adverse effects of pollution on various ecosystems. These ecosystems are complex and it is difficult to fully understand all their details. Therefore, the description of ecosystems and their processes inevitably has a certain degree of uncertainty, due to their enormous complexity.
