The biotic ligand model (BLM) is proposed as a tool to quantitatively evaluate biological toxicity of metals considering both metal speciation and the influence of environmental conditions. The model assumes that biological sites bind to metals as biotic ligands (BLs) and obtains a series of BLM parameters including conditional binding constants (K). However, developing a BLM for each metal and biology takes a lot of experimentation. In the present study, relationships between metal ionic characters and BLM parameter K were respectively investigated for three terrestrial organisms. The results showed that ionization potential was the most strongly related to log K for barley (R-2 = 0.845, p < 0.01) and earthworm (R-2 = 0.881, p < 0.01), and electronegativity index most significantly related to log K for lettuce (R-2 = 0.835, p < 0.01). Based on these relationships, a set of quantitative ion character-activity relationships (QICARs) were developed for predicting log K of metals. Then the QICAR were coupled with BLM and a novel QICAR-BLM was constructed. Finally, the QICAR-BLM was applied to predict EC50 of other unknown-toxicity metals for selected species, and compensate for the lack of toxicity data for a large number of metals in soil.
