Pesticide Residues in Coastal Tropical Ecosystems 'Distribution, Fate and Effects'

Coastal plains and river valleys, some of the most sensitive but understudied ecosystems in the world, are home to agriculture on a vast scale. Streams and rivers receive the majority of agricultural runoff, carrying insecticides, fungicides, and other pesticides into estuaries and coastal zones. This volume brings together toxicology experts to assess pesticide burdens in the major food-producing tropical countries. A practical guide to recent research and applications, it is essential reading for environmental professionals, ecotoxicologists, marine chemists, and agrochemists.
