This book provides a wealth of information about the relatively new but rapidly expanding field of ecotoxicology. It contains 34 chapters written by more than 50 international experts. Divided into four major sections, the handbook provides comprehensive coverage of the following general areas of ecotoxicology:
Methods of quantifying and measuring ecotoxicological effects, both in the field and under controlled laboratory conditions
Data on - and effects of - major classes of environmental contaminants and other ecological perturbations capable of altering ecosystems
Case histories involving environmental contaminant disruption of natural ecosystems
Methods used for estimating, predicting, and modeling in ecotoxicology studies
Destined to be the classic reference on the subject, this important, authoritative work is invaluable to all students, researchers, consultants, and other professionals in the environmental sciences, toxicology, chemistry, biology, and ecology-both in academia and in industry.
