Current procedures used for hazard identification and
classification are based on persistence, bioaccumulation, and
toxicity measurements. Assessing the Hazard of Metals and Inorganic
Metal Substances in Aquatic and Terrestrial Systems provides the
basis for improvements to the current model for hazard assessment.
The book reviews the scientific underpinnings of the use of
persistence as applied to metals, including bioavailability, and
the use of bioaccumulation to evaluate aquatic species and
aquatic-linked food chains. It also examines toxicity procedures as
used within PBT approaches and measurements for metals in
terrestrial ecosystems. The book brings together a
multidisciplinary and international group of scientists, managers,
and policy makers from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, the
Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States to discuss
various means for assessing the environmental hazard posed by
metals and inorganic metal substances. The contributors include
representatives from regulatory and nonregulatory government
agencies, academia, industry, environmental groups, and consulting
firms involved in assessment, management, and basic research of
metals and metal substances. They provide a focused discussion of
the fate and effects of metals in the environment, incorporating
important advances developed over the past decade.
