Synopses & Reviews
This book provides a complete coverage of all aspects of the occurrence, toxicity and analysis of toxicants in the aqueous ecosystem. The aqueous ecosystem includes natural waters such as rivers, coastal waters and open seawater. It also includes sedimentary matter present in these waters, creatures (fish, crustacea) and plant life. Chapters dealing with toxicity measurement, control of pollution regulation and toxicity data systematically discuss metals, organometallic compounds and organic compounds. In addition, Chapters 4 and 5 deal with the effects of these types of toxicants in natural waters and water creature?s tissues, whilst Chapter 8 deals with the health of such creatures. Contents:
- Toxicity Evaluation - Water Based
- Toxicity Evaluation - Animal Tissue Analysis Based
- Control of Pollution Regulations
- Toxicity Data
- Effects of Dissolved Metals in Water on Creatures
- Effect of Organic and Organometallic Compounds in Water on Creatures
- Pollution of Sedimentary Matter
- Polution of Sea Organisms
- Phytoplankton
- Algae and Weeds - Toxicity, Concentration and Analysis
- Pollution of Potable Water
- Radioactivity in the Environment
Toxicants in the Aqueous Ecosystem is essential reading for all Analytical Chemists, Environmentalists and Toxicologists working in the field.
Synopsis
A practical reference on the effects of a broad range of toxicants in natural waters, including the health effects on both plant and animals.
Special chapters on toxicity evaluation and pollution control regulations (worldwide).
-- Detailed information on the underlying chemistry as well as life science.
Synopsis
Dieses Buch deckt alle Aspekte des Vorkommens, der Toxizit t und Analyse von toxischen Wirkstoffen im Wasser kosystem ab. Das Wasser kosystem umfa t nat rliche Gew sser wie Fl sse, K stengew sser und Meere. Es besteht aus dem in diesen Gew ssern vorkommenden Sedimentmaterial, Tieren (Fische, Krustazeen) und Pflanzen. Sonderkapitel beziehen sich auf Toxizit tsmessungen, Kontrollen ber die Einhaltung von Umweltschutzvorschriften und Toxizit tswerten. Ferner werden systematisch Metalle, organometallische und organische Verbindungen behandelt. Auch werden die Auswirkungen der toxischen Stoffe auf nat rliche Gew sser sowie auf Gewebe und Gesundheit der Wasserlebewesen angesprochen. (10/97)
