It is becoming increasingly important for environmental toxicologists and chemists to be able to forecast the fate and effects of chemicals by using existing information to predict the future. Providing a unique and timely opportunity for active researchers and students to obtain in a single volume the 'state of the art' in this expanding field, this text discusses how forecasts can be made by: using ecotoxicological endpoints at different levels of biological organisation measuring and modelling chemical fate in biotic and abiotic environments adopting difference quantitative frameworks Written by an international team of scientists, this text will be essential reading for postgraduate and advance undergraduate students studying ecotoxicology, toxicology, chemistry and environmental statistics aswell as industrial and academic research scientists in environmental toxicology, environmental chemistry and those involved in risk management.

| Publisher Description: Der Umwelteinflu von Chemikalien l t sich anhand geeigneter Parameter vorhersagen. So kann man Risiken identifizieren und Katastrophen von vornherein m glichst vermeiden. Umwelttoxikologie und -chemie werden in diesem Band vom methodologisch-praktischen und vom juristischen Standpunkt aus betrachtet. Internationale Fallstudien helfen, Risiken richtig einzusch tzen sowie Expositionen und Wirkungen im voraus zu erkennen. Sehr ausf hrlich und anschaulich |
