Notes:
At foot of title: UTS, University of Technology, Sydney - EPA NSW."June 1994" "Prepared by Assoc. Prof. Margaret Burchett and Dr. John Chapman"--Foreword.The science of ecotoxicology is a new discipline that has emerged only since the 1940s, in the wake of what has sometimes been referred to as the 'chemical revolution'. Over the last five decades there has been a tremendous growth in the production, distribution and use of new, synthetically produced materials, both organic and inorganic, which have now become an integral part of daily life. In addition, population pressures have resulted in larger and more numerous urban areas, leading to high levels of garbage, sewage and other wastes.Includes bibliographical references.
