Practical and provocative, Bioavailability reviews prevalent understanding of the physical-chemical-biological mechanisms that control the bioavailability of both organic and inorganic contaminants in aquatic environments. Discusses the complex issues that surround many regulatory issues Emphasizes the need to identify and control that portion of the total concentration that is biologically available and can cause adverse effects, i.e., "active" Examines the influence of dynamic factors, such as pH, alkalinity, and light on these mechanisms Addresses the subject of speciation for both organic and inorganic contaminantsHamelink, Jerry L. is the author of 'Bioavailability Physical, Chemical, and Biological Interactions Proceedings of the Thirteenth Pellston Workshop Pellston, Michigan, August 17-22,' with ISBN 9781566700863 and ISBN 1566700868.
