Biological Effects of Surfactants

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Biological Effects of Surfactants examine the effects of anionic, non-ionic, cationic surfactants, and detergents on a wide range of organisms-including bacteria, cyanobacteria, flagellates, algae, higher plants, and invertebrates-populations, communities, and ecosystems. The author establishes new quantitative characteristics of the effects and presents study results on newly discovered phenomena. While proposing and substatiating new approaches for testing, assessing, and characterizing the biological activities and hazards of substances, the book illustrates how the data obtained can be used to develop effective environmental remediation and protection measures to improve water quality.
