About this title

Synopsis

The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry here provides a database gleaned from about 500 references. It consists of 3,000 entries regarding approximately 200 different chemicals. The data is measured tissue-residue concentrations in aquatic invertebrates, fishes, and amphibians, with effects that are directly related to survival, growth, and reproduction of the organisms. Data charts identify chemical, test species, life stage, test site and conditions, exposure route and concentration, test duration, tissue analyzed, tissue residue, effect, and reference source. To efficiently display the charts, the pages are wide (14x8.5<"> and spiral bound. Certainly, we must hope this data is put to good use in determining ways to protect the environment from toxic chemicals. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
