Description

Wildlife Toxicity Assessments for Chemicals of Military Concern is a compendium of chemical-specific toxicity information with discussions on the rationale and development of Wildlife Toxicity Reference Values (TRVs) intended for use on terrestrial wildlife for risk assessment applications. Substances covered include military-related chemicals including explosives, propellants, pesticides and metals. Wildlife Toxicity Assessments for Chemicals of Military Concern is a much-needed resource designed to meet the needs of those seeking toxicological information for ecological risk assessment purposes. Each chapter targets a specific chemical and considers the current knowledge of the toxicological impacts of chemicals to terrestrial wildlife including mammalian, avian, amphibian and reptilian species.

Key Features

  • Provides detailed information on how Wildlife Toxicity Values (TRVs) for military chemicals of concern are derived and evaluated.
  • Covers wildlife toxicity assessments of explosives, metals and environmental chemicals.
  • Compiles relevant information on the environmental effects of chemicals on wildlife in relation to public and environmental health.

Readership

Ecological risk assessors and toxicologists in government and industry organizations; graduate ecotoxicology students; industry, consulting and litigation professionals using risk assessments of contaminated environments
