新版本的ERICA工具（1.2版）于2014年11月发布；这是该工具自2007年发布以来的第一次重大更新。本文将介绍该更新的主要特性。特别值得注意的是从国际集中比率汇编（CRwo-media）中提取的新转移数据库，以及在没有资料的情况下用于选择转移数据的“外推”方法的修改。在某些情况下，已使用贝叶斯更新方法来利用相关信息，否则这些信息将被排除在导出CRwo-media统计数据的过程中。所有这些努力反过来又导致了更新一级评估中使用的环境介质浓度限值（EMCLs）的要求。重点介绍了emcl方面的一些重大变化。(C) 2015年作者。Elsevier Ltd.出版。
A new version of the ERICA Tool (version 1.2) was released in November 2014; this constitutes the first major update of the Tool since release in 2007. The key features of the update are presented in this article. Of particular note are new transfer databases extracted from an international compilation of concentration ratios (CRwo-media) and the modification of `extrapolation' approaches used to select transfer data in cases where information is not available. Bayesian updating approaches have been used in some cases to draw on relevant information that would otherwise have been excluded in the process of deriving CRwo-media statistics. All of these efforts have in turn led to the requirement to update Environmental Media Concentration Limits (EMCLs) used in Tier 1 assessments. Some of the significant changes with regard to EMCLs are highlighted. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
