Biological Effects of Surfactants (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Offering a new perspective on the hazards of pollution, Biological Effects of Surfactants examines the effects of anionic, non-ionic, cationic surfactants, and detergents on a wide range of organisms, populations, communities, and ecosystems. The author establishes new quantitative characteristics of the effects and presents study results on newly discovered phenomena. While proposing and substantiating new priorities and 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.
