Practical Handbook of Estuarine and Marine Pollution

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This extensive handbook covers developments in estuarine and marine pollution. A truly international collection of data is presented, in an organized framework, on a wide range of subject areas including eutrophication, organic loading, oil pollution, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, trace metals, radioactive waste, dredging and dredged-spoil disposal, and effects of electric generating stations. It includes more than 400 tables and figures, providing quick access to information. The combination of discussions and illustrations with a tabular format make it easy to use and understand.
