Description: Chlorinated
Organic Micropollutants addresses the sources, environmental cycles, uptake,
consequences and control of many of the more important chlorinated organic
micropollutants, including PCBs, PCDDs, PCDFs and various chlorinated
pesticides, all of which have given widespread cause for concern in relation to
their environmental persistence and high toxicity, and their potential for
adverse effects on humans and wildlife. Rational decision making over
chlorinated organic micropollutants in the environment must be based upon sound
science.
This volume
draws upon the expertise of some of the most distinguished workers in the
field, to review current knowledge of the sources, environmental concentrations
and pathways, human toxicity and ecotoxicology, and control methods for these
groups of compounds. Chlorinated Organic Micropollutants gives a unique and
valuable compilation of information on an extremely important group of
environmental pollutants. It is fully up-to-date, and will provide a
comprehensive overview of this topical subject that will be useful for years to
come, to academic, student and professional alike.
