In much the same way as meteorologists forecast the weather based on scientific observation and measurements, ecotoxicologists are able to predict the fate (ie, where and in what form a substance will end up) and effect (ie, toxic or non-toxic) of a given chemical in the environment; this is termed predictive ecotoxicology.
