درباره این کتاب:
More than 20
years after the ban of DDT and other
organochlorine pesticides, pesticides
continue to be detected in air, rain,
soil, surface water, bed sediment, and
aquatic and terrestrial biota throughout
the world. Recent research suggests that
low levels of some of these pesticides may
have the potential to affect the
development, reproduction, and behavior of
fish and wildlife, and possibly
humans.Pesticides in Stream Sediment and
Aquatic Biota: Distribution, Trends, and
Governing Factors assesses the occurrence
and behavior of pesticides in bed sediment
and aquatic biota-the two major
compartments of the hydrologic system
where organochlorine pesticides are most
likely to accumulate. This book collects,
for the first time, results from several
hundred monitoring studies and field
experiments, ranging in scope from
individual sites to the entire nation.
Comprehensive tables provide concise
summaries of study locations, pesticides
analyzed, and study outcomes.Comprehensive
and extensively illustrated, Pesticides in
Stream Sediment and Aquatic Biota:
Distribution, Trends, and Governing
Factors evaluates the sources,
environmental fate, geographic
distribution, and long-term trends of
pesticides in bed sediment and aquatic
biota. The book focuses on organochlorine
pesticides, but also assesses the
potential for currently used pesticides to
be found in bed sediment and aquatic
biota. Topics covered in depth include the
effect of land use on pesticide
occurrence, mechanisms of pesticide uptake
and accumulation by aquatic biota, and the
environmental significance of observed
levels of pesticides in stream sediment
and aquatic biota.
