Publisher's Synopsis
Ecotoxicology is gaining pace in both research activity and in environmental regulation and legislation. The Handbook of Ecotoxicology uniquely provides a readily accessible, yet critical collection of information on the available tests, how they are carried out, the problems associated with running them, how their results can be interpreted, and what results have been obtained for some of the more important chemical categories. The first volume contained a description of the techniques. This second volume 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.
