Chromium in the Natural and Human Environments Edited by Jerome O.
Nriagu and Evert Nieboer "Essential reading for researchers and
students of environmental and occupational health effects of
metals." - The Science of the Total Environment Representing the
most comprehensive coverage to date on the uses of chromium, its
sources (both natural and anthropogenic), and occurrence in the
air, water, and soil, this timely volume addresses the growing
concern about chromium's ultimate effect on the environment. The
toxicity of chromium to terrestrial and aquatic biota is examined
in relation to its chemistry and biochemistry, with discussion of
toxicological models of chromium hypersensitivity, mutagenicity,
carcinogenicity, and toxicokinetics. Features include graphical
representation of the voluminous mutagenicity and animal
carcinogenicity data according to chromium compound type. 1988 (0
471-85643-6) 571 pp. Cadmium in the Aquatic Environment Edited by
Jerome O. Nriagu and John B. Sprague "This book contains a wealth
of information useful to many different types of scientists." -
Journal of the American Chemical Society Considered a priority
natural water contaminant, cadmium has, like other toxic metals,
been closely monitored. Featuring the latest research of some of
the world's leading environmental specialists, this important text
is a comprehensive look at the sources, distribution, and fate of
cadmium in aquatic ecosystems, as well as the biocycling and
ecotoxicity of cadmium in natural waters. The book's topical
breadth also includes cadmium associations in freshwater and marine
sediments, the latest techniques used for cadmium detection, and
the scientific rationale needed to establish water quality criteria
and standards for the presence of cadmium. 1987 (0

Edited by Jerome O. Nriagu and Milagros S. Simmons "The quality of
the writing is uniformly high the book will serve as a valuable
reference to graduate-level readers in food science, public health,
and toxicology, as well as to environmental biologists and chemists
" - Choice The exposure of all levels of the human food chain to
environmental contaminants has transformed the human body into a
biomonitor of environmental pollutants. This international
collection of 22 studies from leading researchers examines every
facet of the problem. The book's far-ranging and detailed coverage
includes the detection, sources, distribution, speciation, and
bioavailability of environmental contaminants and their metabolites
in various food products, as well as the toxicological and health
significance of the observed contaminant levels in foods. 1990 (0
