摘要:This volume forms the conclusion of a collaboration between toxicologists, economists and lawyers in the understanding and solution of the problem of accumulative chemicals. It will be a valuable resource for a broad group of researchers in environmental science and policy, and will also form a useful supplementary reference text for courses in environmental policy, science, economics and toxicology.
