This book covers fundamental principles
relating to bioavailability, environmental and human health risk assessment,
bioavailability as affected by chemical speciation, potential role of
bioavailability in risk assessment, microbial parameters as indicators of
bioavailability and case studies demonstrating how manipulation of
bioavailability could mitigate ecotoxicological effects of metals.
This
book is intended for post graduate students, remediators and risk assessment
experts to understand the application of various conventional and innovative
tools for assessing bioavailability and risks posed by contaminants at
highly contaminated sites. It is also intended for regulatory authorities
and environmental planners who wish to learn more about metal
bioavailability, risk relations and site remediation.
