The theory of partial order is a branch of Discrete Mathematics and is often seen as pretty esoteric. However, depending on a suitable definition of an order relation, partial order theory has some statistical flavor. Here we introduce the application of partial order for environmental chemistry.
We showed that partial order is an instrument, which at the same time, has both data exploration - and evaluation potency.
The partial order theory was applied in this study. It depends on four indicators which describe the environmental hazards of chemicals.
Nineteen organic chemicals were found within a monitoring study in the German river Main and were taken as an exemplary case. The results indicated that chemicals can have a high risk on the environment, however, the type of risk is different and should not conceptually merge into a single quantity.
Partial order theory is of help to define different regulations and environmental management plans.
偏序理论是离散数学的一个分支，通常被认为相当深奥。然而，根据序关系的适当定义，偏序理论具有一定的统计学特征。在这里，我们将介绍偏序在环境化学中的应用。
我们表明偏序既是一种工具，同时又具有数据探索和评估能力。
本研究应用偏序理论。它取决于四个指标，这些指标描述了化学品的环境危害。
在德国美因河的一项监测研究中发现了 19 种有机化学品，并将其作为一个典型案例。结果表明，某些化学品对环境可能有很高的风险，但风险的类型不同，不应在概念上合并为一个单一的数量。
偏序理论有助于定义不同的法规和环境管理计划。
