Description
Hot Spot Pollutants describes how pharmaceuticals and/or endocrine active compounds gain entry into the aquatic ecosystem,
effects on specific organisms and the potential risk involved for the whole ecosystem. In addition it presents the latest views and developments
regarding legal requirements for assessing the environmental risk of pharmaceuticals. This books includes the views of academic, industry
and government scientists, and thus aims for a balanced presentation of all standpoints.
The book consists of papers that appeared
previously in the journal Toxicology Letters in 2002 and 2003, and have been collected in this single volume to make them accessible
to a broader audience. Authors were asked to update their contributions where necessary. See also Toxicology Letters volume 131, issues
1 and 2 (2002), and volume 142 issue 3 (2003).
Audience
Scientists in academia, pharmaceutical/chemical industries, and government involved in assessing the environmental risk of pharmaceuticals.
