Successful risk assessment relies heavily on well-documented databases. This book provides comprehensive information on 1,500 chemicals, contains 265 tables, 35 figures, and 8,000 references, and includes 2,500 species cross referenced by their common name and Latin names. "I believe that nearly everyone engaged in ecotoxicology or ecotoxicological risk assessments is acquainted with Ronald Eisler's Contaminant Hazard Reviews which were published between 1985 and 1999?Those reviews have now been updated by Dr. Eisler and published as a three-volume 'handbook'?I found the original reviews to be handy and reliable references, and I expect to frequently consult these new volumes."-Glenn Suter, SETAC Reviews EditorPromo Copy
