Quantitative structure–activity relationships (QSARs) enable the toxicity of aquatic pollutants to be predicted from their physicochemical properties. This paper reviews several techniques that can be used to obtain QSARs and examples of QSAR studies are presented for some important groups of aquatic pollutants; reactive organic halides, anilines, phenols and for some relatively unreactive, non‐ionised compounds. Finally the possibility of applying predicted toxicities in environmental hazard assessment is discussed.
