Ecological Risk Assessment of Contaminants in Soil

As the discipline of ecotoxicology grows and develops, the concepts and data used are proving increasingly useful in improving the quality of risk assessment of soil pollution by professional scientists in a regulation context as well as in research.

This volume illustrates how strengthening scientific basis for the ecotoxicological approach is helping substantially in environmental policy decision making.This book should be of interest to ecotoxicologists, pollution control managers, soil scientists, environmental scientists, toxicologists, applied ecologists and agriculturalists.
