Product Description
"Perchlorate contamination continues to evolve as a national priority pollutant and as a substance of great debate regarding pollution of water supplies and the environment. Funded by various government agencies and nongovernmental organizations, a multidisciplinary ecotoxicology research program to address perchlorate in the environment was implemented by The Institute of Environmental and Human Health (TIEHH) at Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas, USA. A result of the intensive research and studies of experts involved in or associated with that program, Perchlorate Ecotoxicology addresses perchlorate contamination and its environmental effects. This comprehensive book includes introductions and evaluations of the current state-of-the-science, studies on environmental effects, as well as proposed applications that address perchlorate contamination in the environment. With the research and involvement of leading scientists, experts, and agencies in the field, Perchlorate Ecotoxicology will contribute to the developing science of addressing endocrine disruptors that oftentimes challenge environmental toxicologists by virtue of the potential for subtle effects whose evaluation may require more complex experimental designs.
