While toxicity testing procedures and hazard assessment approaches
have been published in past decades, many are wanting in detail for
users to fully understand or reproduce successfully. Small-scale
freshwater toxicity investigations (Volumes 1 and 2) responds to
this need by providing comprehensive information on biological
testing which is normally scattered and difficult to find.
In Volume 1, 15 chapters on toxicity tests are described in
great detail by way of a homogeneous structure that all
contributors had to follow. These comprehensive texts allow readers
to be informed of relevant information (background, theory,
practice) linked to each bioassay. Hence, book contents can be used
both for technology transfer purposes (e.g., classroom or workshop
courses) and to undertake practical toxicity testing (e.g., in a
private, public or university laboratory).
Academia (students, professors), government (environmental
managers, scientists, regulators) and consulting professionals
(biologists, chemists, engineers) should find this volume of
interest. As an example, it should prove useful for conducting
(under)graduate courses in aquatic toxicology involving practical
laboratory training. In this respect, it can be attractive, owing
to some of its contents, as a laboratory manual for learning
purposes or for undertaking applied research to assess chemical
hazards. In short, all groups directly or indirectly involved with
the protection and conservation of freshwater environments will
find Volume 1 appealing, as will those who simply wish to become
familiar with the field of toxicity testing.
