Handbook of Ecotoxicology [PDF ebook] 

Support

The Handbook of Ecotoxicology provides a readily accessible,
yet critical collection of information on ecotoxicological testing.
Now available in a single paperback volume, this handbook
represents excellent value. Part A concentrates on techniques,
especially those tests used for prediction. Thorough descriptions
of the main tests are provided, followed by critical analyses in
terms of ease of handling, repeatability and ecological relevance,
and finally, an extensive bibliography citing key documents
describing test methods and key papers evaluating them. Part B
focuses on the toxicants themselves: summarising their ecological
effects, describing ways of predicting effects from
physico-chemical properties alone, and describing and discussing
fate models.
* Now available as a single volume in paperback
* An invaluable reference resource
