ABSTRACT

As all textbooks do, this volume re«ects the points of view of each of the authors, developed from being active researchers, teachers, and participants in various professional societies and governmental panels. Since the early 1990s at Huxley College of the Environment there has been a two-course fundamental introduction to the science of environmental toxicology for which this text was originally developed. ˆat series is supplemented by courses in aquatic toxicology, risk assessment, fate and transport, air pollution, and risk assessment. Since its ‰rst edition this book was designed to provide a keystone for the program in environmental toxicology.
