Book Description
"The computerized National Registry of Toxic Chemical Residues is a repository for information on wildlife specimens analyzed for toxic chemicals by the Canadian wildlife Service (CWS), or deposited in the CWS National Specimen Bank. Since 1963, residue data for more than 30, 000 individual specimens representing 327 species of Canadian wildlife have been added to the data base. Specimens were collected mainly from Canadian territories or near boundary U.S. territories, especially in the Great Lakes. There are also limited data from Canadian migratory species and their prey collected in Central and South America. The registry contains data only from specimens collected in the field and not experimentally dosed. This "User Guide" should help interested persons understand the registry system and assist the user in obtaining both data on residue levels in wildlife and information on the contents of the CWS National Specimen Bank"--Abstract, p. iv.

Wildlife Ecotoxicology
Author: John E. Elliott
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387894322
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
Many books have now been published in the broad field of environmental toxicology. However, to date, none of have presented the often fascinating stories of the wildlife science, and the steps along the way from discovery of problems caused by environmental pollutants to the regulatory and non-regulatory efforts to address the problems. This book provides case by case examinations of how toxic chemical effects on wildlife have brought about policy and regulatory decisions, and positive changes in environmental conditions. Wild animal stories, whether they are about the disappearance of charismatic top predators, or of grossly deformed embryos or frogs, provide powerful symbols that can and have captured the public's imagination and have resulted in increased awareness by decision makers. It is the intent of this book to present factual and balanced overviews and summaries of the science and the subsequent regulatory processes that followed to effect change (or not). We cover a variety of chemicals and topics beginning with an update of the classic California coastal DDT story of eggshell thinning and avian reproduction to more recent cases, such as the veterinarian pharmaceutical that has brought three species of Asian vultures to the brink of extinction. Researchers, regulators, educators, NGOs and the general public will find valuable insights into the processes and mechanisms involved both in environmental scientific investigation and in efforts to effect positive change.
