Handbook of Ecotoxicology

Intended for enivronmental toxicologists, environmental chemists and ecologists, this book provides information on the expanding field of ecotoxicology. Divided into four main sections, the text gives comprehensive coverage of the following areas: the methods of quantifying and measuring ecotoxicological effects, both in the field and under controlled laboratory conditions; the effects of major classes of environmental contaminants capable of altering ecosystems; case histories involving environmental contaminant disruption of natural ecosystems; and methods for estimating, predicting and modelling in studies of ecotoxicology.
