Description
The knowledge of the fate and effects of man-made chemicals on the environment is based essentially on studies carried out in the temperate zone. These chemicals are being increasingly used throughout the world, particularly in developing countries outside the temperate zone. This study verifies the applicability of basic ecotoxicological principles under both warm and cold conditions. Topics covered include an overview of climates of the world from an ecotoxicological angle, and the environmental fate of chemicals determined by abiotic and biotic degradation. Eight case studies of different geographical areas have been included. The text will be beneficial to biologists, ecologists, environmental scientists, climatologists and toxicologists.
