Description
Part of the "Methods in Ecology" series, this book aims to present the principles behind the practice of ecotoxicology, rather than a detailed manual of methods and techniques. These principles are illustrated with examples drawn from all media (air, water, soil), and in all cases problems are discussed alongside their solutions. Early chapters look at the science of ecotoxicology, and the fate and persistence of chemicals in the environment. Later chapters consider the impact of the chemicals and how this is measured in the lab and in the field; the prediction of impacts and environmental monitoring.
