OSTI ID:691412
This book is the most comprehensive textbook or working reference in this new science of toxicants in the environment. The author treats ecotoxicology from molecular to global perspectives, extending discussion beyond the ecosystem to landscape, regional, and biospheric topics. The text interweaves human and ecological health issues, consistently presenting this current approach of assessing hazards and risks from pollutants. Topics of discussion include the following: contaminant accumulation detailed from biomolecular to foodweb level; effects presented at the levels of the molecule, cell, tissue, organ, individual, population, ecosystem, landscape, ecoregion, hemisphere, and biosphere; unique material on risk assessment for radioactive contaminants; equations for estimating exposures from important sources; summary of Si unit prefixes and conversion factors; and derivation of units for bioaccumulation model constants.
