With the signing of the Toxic Substances Control Act in 1976, this timely publication will assist anyone involved in the assessment of hazards chemicals to pose to aquatic life-whether from industry government, or academia. Topics covered include toxicological effects, environmental concentration, environmental fate, hazard assessment and evaluation of proposed test procedures for estimating hazards to aquatic life.
