Biodegradability prediction
Appearance
Biodegradability Prediction is biologically-inspired computing and attempts to predict biodegradability of anthropogenic materials in the environment. Demand for biodegradability prediction is expected to increase with governments stepping up environmental regulations (see for instance testing for bioaccumulation in the REACH proposal)
Example:
- development of QSARs for biodegradation for instance Biochemical oxygen demand for chemicals released into the environment with the aid of machine learning and other artificial intelligence methods.1
