About this book
Every notable aspect of "Toxic Contamination in Large Lakes" is examined by known experts from every continent. Authors represent the U.S. and Canada, Argentina, Sweden, USSR, Israel, Great Britain, Japan, China, The Netherlands, Germany, Kenya and Austria. Authors represent the entire spectrum - academia, government and industry. The first published work offer such a diverse and complete examination of this subject, it provides valuable information and data for today and tomorrow - and the basis for stimulating new research. Chapters in this work were reviewed and carefully edited, after initial presentation at the World Conference on Large Lakes held May 18-21, 1986 at Mackinac Island, Michigan.It presents a wealth of information - a resource for continued use over the years - and should do much to stimulate further study. This vital work is especially of interest to environmental scientists and toxicologists, fisheries professionals, researchers, aquatic resource managers, ecologists, biologists, chemists and engineers. Every science or engineering library with a water interest should have this notable reference.
