Product Description
Slightly more than 100,000 chemicals are produced in such an amount that they are threatening to the environment. These include common chemicals such as household cleaners, detergents, cosmetics, medicines, and pesticides. The Handbook of Estimation Methods in Ecotoxicology and Environmental Chemistry presents estimation methods for determining a number of physicochemical, biological, and toxicological parameters for these chemicals. Included is WinTox software, an estimation tool that is quick and easy to use; it provides a good initial estimate that can be further refined. Through the estimation methods demonstrated in this book, the following urgent questions can be answered: ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
A comprehensive overview of the ecological consequence of environmental pollution by toxic substances. It aims to show how global toxic substances, whether chemical or radioactive, impinge on the environment not only at the level of the sensitive species but throughout the whole ecosystem. The author demonstrates that a very significant area of ecotoxicological study concerns changes within a complete ecosystem, since these changes ultimately affect fundamental mechanisms such as energy flow and the cycle of matter inside the polluted ecosystem. The introduction is devoted to the methods and techniques used in ecotoxicological research to analyse the effects of toxics on individual organisms, populations and communities. The origins and importance of environmental pollution are then discussed, with an account of the mechanisms for their dispersal and circulation in the biosphere. This is followed by studies of the ecological effects of chemical pollutants on terrestrial, freshwater and oceanic systems. The effects of nuclear pollution, especially the problems generated by radioactive wastes, are covered separately as these form very specific areas for ecotoxicological concern.Emphasis is laid on the major groups of environmental contaminants: Atmospheric pollutants (especially those causing acid rain); Heavy metals; Pesticides; Fertilizers; Organohalogenated and other organic toxic compounds; Hydrocarbons and oil pollution; and Radionucleides. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
The use of chemicals in any workplace in the developed world is governed by stringent health, safety and environmental legislation, and companies spend significant amounts of time and money assessing the risks associated with the handling and use of chemicals. In practice, those risk assessments are generally carried out by a range of competent people, be it the corporate safety manager, the R&D chemist or the manufacturing unit manager. This book will guide those personnel in the understanding, interpretation and application of toxicological and ecotoxicological information, supplied on a material safety data sheet, when planning the safe handling and use of chemicals.

This volume is directed at corporate health & safety officers and safety managers; R&D chemists; process chemists and engineers, and manufacturing unit managers & supervisors in the pharmaceutical industry and the bulk, fine and specialty chemicals industries. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Studies were carried out on several aspects of rareearth elements (REEs), such as the theory andpractice of their applications in agriculture, theirgeochemical behaviors in natural and agriculturalecosystems, the mechanisms for the increase of cropyield using REE-fertilizer, and their toxicology.However, limited knowledge was available for thetransfer processes and the features and mechanismsof distribution and fractionation of REEs inside plants. This book covers distribution of REEs in theenvironment and living organisms, sources andapplications of REEs, factors affecting mobility andbio-availability of REEs in soils. Moreover,bio-accumulation of REEs in plants, fractionation and transfer of REEs from soil to plants and factorsaffecting on fractionation of REEs in plant werealso reviewed in the part I. Part II covers toxicology and cyto-physiology of REEs in plants, toxicology of REEs in soilmicro-organisms, the ecotoxicological effects of REEfertilizers on soils and plants. Moreover, thetoxicological effects of REE fertilizers on crops,application methods and types of REE fertilizerswere also mentioned. ... Read more

Product Description
Of all the 11 million substances known, water is the most precious. The industrial revolution of the 19th century has led progressively to increasing pollution of this vital chemical during the 20th century. The protection of water resources is now one of the greatest challenges to mankind. This book reviews some of the monitoring techniques which are now available, and the hazard and risk assessments which are a necessary sequel to such monitoring. During the mid and latter part of this century fish and invertebrates have played a major role in such monitoring techiques. Analytical chemistry, often involving sophisticated and expensive equipment such as GC-MS, has been used but the data so produced are sometimes difficult to evaluate effectively. During the past decade, increasing use has been made of bacterial systems, one of which is based on the marine luminescent bacterium photobacterium phosphoreum, has grown in significance. Obviously there are deficiencies in the use of such generic techniques, but short-falls are compensated by the speed of the estimation. Many of the chapters compare, contrast and describe this technique.About half of the material in this book was taken from presentations delivered at The Royal Society of Chemistry's Toxicology Subject Group international symposium held in Leeds, England, 17 June 1992. Some chapters were also presented at International Environment '92 and '93, Wembley, England May 1992 and 1993. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Ecotoxicology," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Ecotoxicology in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Ecotoxicology when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Ecotoxicology, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Product Description
Fueled partially by large, well-publicized efforts such as the Human Genome Project, genomic research is a rapidly growing area in multiple biological disciplines, including toxicology. Much of this potential, however, has been discussed in the literature and at technical meetings only in relatively broad terms, making it difficult to assess exactly how data generated from new genomics technologies might actually impact or benefit the risk assessment process. ...

Product Description
Because earthworms improve soil quality, enhance nutrient release and uptake, and maintain and increase soil aeration and drainage, their use in testing has been central to both soil ecology and ecotoxicological risk assessment. After meeting in 1991 to discuss lab and field testing, these expert authors reconvened in 1997 to update their findings and share new insights about bioavailability and internal load as discriminating factors for assessing environmental impacts.

This 31-chapter volume also covers models that estimate the long-term implications that impacts of toxic compounds on individuals have for population survival. ... Read more
