Bøker av Ronald Eisler

This book critically examines the available literature on oceanic acidification: including a historical review of pH and atmospheric CO2 levels over the millennia; natural and anthropogenic sources of CO2 to the atmosphere and sea surface; chemical, physical, and biological mode of action; biological effects of acidification to marine plants and animals under laboratory conditions; field observations on seawater chemistry and effects of declining pH; and various technical and political mitigation strategies. Written by Dr. Ronald Eisler, a noted authority on chemical risk assessment, the book summarizes real and projected effects of oceanic acidification.

Successful risk assessment relies heavily on well-documented databases. This book provides comprehensive information on 1,500 chemicals, contains 265 tables, 35 figures, and 8,000 references, and includes 2,500 species cross referenced by their common name and Latin names.

Focuses on information on mercury uses and sources to the environment. This book discusses the biological, physical, and chemical properties of mercury and its compounds and documents the significance of mercury concentrations in abiotic materials, plants, invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, elasmobranches, as well as humans and other mammals.
