LINKING AQUATIC EXPOSURE AND EFFECTS

Bringing together leading international scientists, this insightful volume provides guidance and recommendations for linking aquatic exposure and ecotoxicological effects in the environmental assessment of agricultural pesticides. It incorporates the tools and approaches currently available for assessing the environmental risks of time-variable exposure profiles of pesticides. The book also discusses the science behind these techniques. Along with a useful glossary of terms and recommendations for future research, it presents registration procedures for plant protection products, including a novice’s guide to FOCUS surface water and an overview of extrapolation techniques.
