Synopsis Microscale Testing in Aquatic Toxicology by : Peter G. Wells
Bioassays are among the ecotoxicologist's most effective weapons in the evaluation of water quality and the assessment of ecological impacts of effluents, chemicals, discharges, and emissions on the aquatic environment. Information on these assessment aids is needed throughout the international scientific and environmental management community. This comprehensive reference provides an excellent overview of the small-scale aquatic bioassay techniques and applications currently in use around the world. This special volume is the result of several years of collaboration between Environment Canada and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Internationally recognized research scientists at many institutions have contributed to this state-of-the-art examination of the exciting, environmentally important field of microscale testing in aquatic toxicology. Microscale Testing in Aquatic Toxicology contains over forty chapters covering relevant principles, new techniques and recent advancements, and applications in scientific research, environmental management, academia, and the private sector.

Synopsis Microscale Testing in Aquatic Toxicology by : Kenneth Lee
The use of microscale aquatic tests is expected to remain very broad-based and invaluable for chemical screening, pollution prevention and control, and environmental impact assessment. The evolution of different tests, supporting methodologies and applications will involve the fields of biotechnology, remote sensing and monitoring, and environmental conservation and protection, among other things. Within this framework, future developments and applications of microscale testing are briefly discussed in this chapter.

Synopsis Small-scale Freshwater Toxicity Investigations by : Christian Blaise
This broad review is the first to gather comprehensive information on the complete contemporary range of toxicity testing procedures and hazard assessment procedures, which is normally scattered and difficult to find. The two-volume set provides a consistent, template-based approach, linking relevant information on background, theory and practice to each bioassay. Volume 1 covers small-scale toxicity test methods. Includes extensive glossary.

Synopsis Microscale Testing in Aquatic Toxicology: Introduction, Historical Perspective, and Context by : Christian Blaise
Dedicating a book to the subject of aquatic microscale tests is long overdue. The authors hope that readers will sense the diversity of techniques, knowledge, and potential applications of this field to the management of toxic substances in aquatic environments. Their goals in preparing this book are therefore to: 1) advance knowledge in a bioanalytical sphere and 2) promote microbiotests as useful and practical diagnostic tools in aquatic toxicology and applied ecology.

Synopsis New Microbiotests for Routine Toxicity Screening and Biomonitoring by : Guido Persoone
The determination of the hazards resulting from the accidental or deli berate contamination of terrestrial and aquatic environments is in most countries still lirnited to the detection and quantification of the suspected pollutants by chemical analyses. Such an approach is unfortunately hampered by the following constraints : the costs as weil as the technical difficulties of analyzing every individual chemical which may be present in the sampies, and the difficulty of assessing the hazards and risks of environmental contaminations from a set of chemical data. During the last decades the scientific and regulatory community has gradually realized that biological methodologies have to be taken into consideration for an ecologically meaningful assessment of the toxicological hazards of contaminants. Effect evaluations obtained with biological techniques indeed integrate the impact of all the contaminants to which living biota are exposed. Bioassays with selected test species representative for the biological commumtles of the environments under consideration, are now applied more or less regularly to determine toxic and genotoxic effects. Taking into account the species specific and chemical specific character of toxicity to biota, the necessity of a «battery of tests» approach with species of different trophic levels is currently also generally accepted and implemented. It is dear that a balanced partnership between chemical, biological, toxicological and microbiological analyses is always the best strategy for generating the broadest information base on environmental hazards.

Synopsis Progress in Standardization of Aquatic Toxicity Tests by : Amadeu Soares
Progress in Standardization of Aquatic Toxicity Tests provides a critical evaluation of the level of standardization achieved by freshwater and marine ecotoxicity tests used to evaluate potential risk of new chemicals and wastewater effluents. Tests at the sub-cellular, individual, laboratory microcosm, and ecosystem levels are presented and critically evaluated. The influence of environmental and genetic heterogeneity on test standardization is also discussed. The book will be an excellent reference for industry professionals, consultants, regulatory officials, and students working in the ecotoxicology field.
