Abstract
An alternative method to perform structure activity relationships will be presented. This method is based on Discrete Mathematics, i.e. on c oncept lattice theory. Exploring a chemical data matrix, this mathemat ical method allows the derivation of ''if-then''-rules. For example it can be hypothesized that a specific chlorinated alkane will pose a hi gh toxic potential towards algae and will have a slight tendency for v olatilization.
