Biochemical Ecology of Water Pollution

摘要: Biochemical ecology is here presented only in the context of water pollution. This not to minimize importance land animals and plants their environment or significance air pollution as it relates ecology. It merely indicates that a problem sufficiently broad magnitude warrant consideration by itself. Water which requires attention variety disciplines. The presentation tends therefore follow ap proach, do most interdisciplinary topics. An appreciation various viewpoints needed among chemists, ecologists, economists, engineers, lawyers, limnologists, managers, microbiologists, politicians, whose communications are often "hung up" each other's jargon. Perhaps too elementary at times. was done an attempt bridge diverse backgrounds those concerned with subject. hoped biologists, public servants, others will gain greater interrelationship gross observations biological events occur cellular molecular level. Lack such understanding is, large extent, reason for our present environmental condition. At other times perhaps technical. on assumption some information chemical details may be readily available but desirable "in depth" biochemical encountered pollu tion."
