In the fourteen years since the publication of the best-selling first edition  ecological risk assessment (ERA) has moved from the margins into the spotlight. It is now commonly applied to the regulation of chemicals  the remediation of contaminated sites  the monitoring of importation of exotic organisms  the management of watersheds  and other environmental management issues. Delineating the processes for performing an ERA  the book begins by defining the field  then goes on to describe its relationship to other environmental assessment practices and its organizational framework. The book also includes a chapter on ecological epidemiology  which has previously been treated as a type of ERA  but is now recognized as a distinct practice in itself. It explores important concepts in the ERA process including probability  uncertainty  scale  mode of action and multiple causes. Reflecting changes in the field  the books scope has been broadened to include discussions of the application of ERA to agents other than chemical contaminants. The multitude of illustrative figures provides a flavor for the diverse practice of ERA. The author has re-organized the material  presenting a unitary process of ERA that is applicable to various problems  scales  and mandates. He keeps the emphasis squarely on providing clear  scientifically sound  and unbiased technical advice on the risks from chemicals and chemical mixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651619282997,"sku":"ByrdShop_1566706343","price":172.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781566706346.jpg?v=1781836511","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/ecological-risk-assessment-9781566706346","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
