Whole Effluent Toxicity Testing: An Evaluation of Methods and Prediction of Receiving System Impacts: Proceedings of the Pellston Workshop on Whole ... (The Setac Special Publications Series)

Both regulators and the regulated community can benefit from the thoughtful recommendations presented by experts in whole effluent toxicity (WET) testing and receiving stream impact prediction. This book delivers state-of-the-art assessments that reflect appropriateness of endpoints used in routine WET methods, degree and causes of WET test method variability, biotic and abiotic factors that can influence measured field responses to effluents, and relationships among effluent toxicity, ambient toxicity, and receiving system impacts.
