Ecotoxicology and Chemistry Applications in Environmental Management Hardback

Ecotoxicology and Chemistry Applications in Environmental Management describes how to set up an integrated, holistic approach to addressing ecotoxicological problems.

It provides detailed explanations in answer to questions like "Why is it necessary to apply an integrated approach?" and "How does one apply an integrated environmental management approach?"Highlighted topics of the book includeEnvironmental chemical calculationsQSAR estimation methodsToxic substance interference with other environmental problemsUsing diagnostic ecological subdisciplines for solutionsCleaner production methods and technologiesEnvironmental risk assessmentAddressing one of the most difficult tasks today, this book provides a much-needed holistic view for translating scientific knowledge and research results into effective environmental management measures.

Rooted in a seven-step method, it integrates examination and quantification of an environmental problem and describes the use of ecological diagnostic tools to develop a diagnosis for ecosystem health.

It also presents methods for choosing and using solutions or combinations of solutions to tackle problems.
