Introduction to Environmental Toxicology
After fifteen years and three editions, Introduction to Environmental Toxicology: Molecular Substructures to Ecological Landscapes has become a standard that defines the field of environmental toxicology, and the fourth edition is no exception. The authors take an integrated approach to environmental toxicology that emphasizes scale and context as important factors in understanding effects and management options. New in the Fourth Edition: New author, Dr. Ruth M. Sofield 8-page color insert New chapter on fate and transport of contaminants Emphasis on the use of all types of models in understanding how nature works Revised sections on synergy and atrazine toxicity Updated coverage of the ana...
Climate Change and Managed Ecosystems
Featuring contributions from leading experts in the field, Climate Change and Managed Ecosystems examines the effects of global climate change on intensively constructed or reconstructed ecosystems, focusing on land use changes in relation to forestry, agriculture, and wetlands including peatlands. The book begins by discussing the fragility of eco
Ambient Water Quality Guidelines for Sulfolane [electronic Resources] : Overview Report : Prepared Pursuant to Section 2(e) of the Environment Management Act, 1981
This document is one of a series that establishes ambient water quality guidelines for British Columbia. The introduction summarizes the properties of sulfolane, an organic chemical used in a wide variety of industrial applications, and reviews the literature on the toxicology of sulfolane. The document then sets guidelines for sulfolane to protect source water for drinking, aquatic life, recreation, crop irrigation, and livestock watering. The rationale for the maximum sulfolane concentration limits set in the guidelines is also explained. The final section describes application of the guidelines for aquatic life.
Hydropolitical Vulnerability and Resilience Along International Waters
The main problem in North America is the location of water resources relative to large population centers where the majority of the freshwater drains away from the bulk of the population. Climate variability and change is a reality. It raises the impact on variability and availability within the continent, which is characterized by its different climatic regions. The hydo-vulnerability of North America is tempered and governed by agreements, laws and institutions such as International Joint Commission (IJC) and International Boundary & Water Commission (IBWC), which have been created to resolve transboundary water issues in a cooperative manner for over a century, resulting in minimal conflicts in the region.
