Publisher's Synopsis

The Ecohazard '99 conference brought together scientists, engineers, administrators and policy-makers from around the world who work in the fields of environmental and ecological toxicology to exchange the latest information on hazardous chemicals in the environment. There were a large number of contributions on endocrine disruption in ecosystems, possibly the hottest issue of the moment, but significant work was also reported on DNA-damaging chemicals, heavy metals and other environmental toxic substances. From the papers presented at the conference 48 have been selected for these proceedings. They focus on the following topics: detection of endocrine disruptors; detection of genotoxic contaminants; heavy metal and radionuclide contamination; PCDDs, PCBs and organochlorine contamination; ecological toxicity assessment; environmental risk assessment; hazardous contaminants in wastewaters; physico-chemical treatment of hazardous contaminants; biological treatment of environmental contaminants; and advanced analytical methods.
