Handbook of Ecotoxicology

The Handbook of Ecotoxicology uniquely provides a readily accessible, yet critical collection of information on ecotoxicological testing. Now available in a single paperback volume, the Handbook represents excellent value. Part A concentrates on techniques, particularly those tests used for prediction, fulfilling three major needs - firstly a thorough description of the main tests, secondly a critical analysis of these tests in terms of ease of
