Opis

Describes the bioavailability, toxicity and risk relationships of metal contaminants in ecosystems. The book has specific discussions of fundamental principles and scope of bioavailability, soil, plant and mircrobial processes that influence metal dynamics, indicators of bioavailability and selected case studies demonstrating the impact of metals on terrestrial ecosystems and how bioavailability relates to regulatory and site assessment requirements.
