One compartment kinetics
Encyclopedia
Refer brahmankar
One-compartment kinetics for a chemical compound specifies that the uptake in the compartment is proportional to the concentration outside the compartment, and the elimination is proportional to the concentration inside the compartment. Both the compartment and the environment outside the compartment are considered to be homogeneous (well mixed).The compartment typically represents some organism (e.g. a fish or a daphnid
).
This model is used in the simplest versions of the DEBtox
method for the quantification of effects of toxicants.

Daphnia are small, planktonic crustaceans, between 0.2 and 5 mm in length. Daphnia are members of the order Cladocera, and are one of the several small aquatic crustaceans commonly called water fleas because of their saltatory swimming style...

DEBtox
The DEBtox method for the evaluation of effects of toxicants makes use of the Dynamic Energy Budget theory to quantify the effect. See the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development report, below, for a description of the method....
