"Examining tissue residues of contaminants in biota reveals the movement of contaminants within organisms and through food chains as well as the context for understanding and quantifying injuries to organisms and their communities. Yet tissue concentrations of some contaminants …
"Consequences of increasing human populations and human manipulation of the environment are the loss of soil, clean air and water, native ecosystems, and biodiversity. Interdisciplinary in scope, Integrated Assessment of Ecosystem Health provides a new, proactive approach to env…
"While no longer a daily news item, acidic deposition is still a frequent issue for environmental managers and policy makers. Emissions of sulfur and nitrogen from power plants, industrial facilities, and motor vehicles - major causes of acidic deposition - still pour into the a…
