The weighing of heterogeneous evidence such as conventional laboratory toxicity tests, field tests, biomarkers, and community surveys is essential to environmental assessments. Evidence synthesis and weighing is needed to determine causes of observed effects, hazards posed by chemicals or other agents, the completeness of remediation, and other environmental qualities. As part of its guidelines for weight of evidence (WoE) in ecological assessments, the US Environmental Protection Agency has developed a generally applicable framework. Its basic steps are these: assemble evidence, weight the evidence, and weigh the body of evidence. Use of the framework can increase the consistency and rigor of WoE practices and provide greater transparency than ad hoc and narrative-based approaches.

权衡常规实验室毒性测试、现场测试、生物标志物和社区调查等异质性证据对于环境评估至关重要。需要进行证据综合与权衡，以确定观察到的影响的原因、化学物质或其他因素造成的危害、修复的完整性以及其他环境质量。作为其生态评估证据权重（WoE）指南的一部分，美国环境保护局制定了一个普遍适用的框架。其基本步骤如下：收集证据、权衡证据以及权衡证据整体。使用该框架可以提高证据权重实践的一致性和严谨性，并且比临时和基于叙述的方法提供更高的透明度。《综合环境评估与管理》2017年；13:1038 - 1044。2017年发表。本文为美国政府作品，在美国属于公共领域。
