| Summary: | The purpose of environmental protection must be designed to meet the demands of an environment under progressively greater strain. In an effort to address future environmental challenges, one important goal must be the effective management of inorganic contaminants of surface water: J.W. Moore's book, Inorganic Contaminants of Surface Water: Research and Monitoring Priorities, provides an information base for the control of inorganic contaminants in an era of reduced environmental commitment. Considered are 24 of the most important inorganic contaminants of sur- face water, each systematically characterized under seven categories: production, sources and residues; chemistry; bioaccumulation; toxic effects to aquatic organisms; health effects; drinking water; and recommendations. This volume presents the most comprehensive and up-to-date survey of all major inorganic contaminants of surface water. Its systematic approach permits easy reference and exceptional facility with the text; its detailed emphasis on research and monitoring priorities offers an invaluable treatment for researchers and policy makers both. This book will have broad interest for environmental scientists, engineers, and managers concerned with environmental protection, chemistry, and toxicology, municipal engineering, and public health. |
