ISBN:
Category : Animal ecology
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
Environmental aspects of boron (B) are reviewed, with emphasis on fish and wildlife ecology and toxicology. Subtopics include sources and uses, chemical proerties, mode of action, background concentrations in animals and nonliving materials, lethal and sublethal effects, and recommendations for the protection of biological resources. Current boron criteria recommended for the protection of sensitive species include 0.3 mg B/L in irrigation waters of crops,

Book Description
This report briefly synthesizes technical literature on ecological and toxicological aspects of inorganic and organic tin compounds in the environment, with emphasis on fishery and wildlife resources. Subtopics include sources and uses, environmental chemistry, background concentrations in biological and nonbiological samples, lethal and sublethal effects in aquatic organisms, birds, and mammals, and proposed criteria for the protection of sensitive organisms. parag Keywords: contaminants; toxicity; fishes; wildlife; natural resources; invertebrates; aquatic organisms; tin; organotins; heavy metals; metabolism; sublethal effects.

Pages : 48
Book Description
Chlorpyrifos (C9H11C13NO3PS), an organophosphorus compound with an anticholinesterase mode of action, is used extensively in a variety of formulations to control a broad spectrum of agricultural and other pestiferous insects. At recommended application rates many species of nontarget organisms--including fish, birds, and invertebrates--have experienced deleterious effects. Sensitive species of aquatic biota died at nominal water concentrations between 0.035 and 1.1 ug chlorpyrifos/l. Acute oral toxicity to sensitive speices of birds ranged between 5 and 13mg chlorpyrifos/kg body weight; for mammals, this was 151 mg/kg body weight. parag Proposed criteria and research needs to protect fishery and wildlife resources are presented.

Category : Arsenic
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
This report briefly synthesizes technical literature on ecological and toxicological aspects of arsenic in the environment, with special reference to natural resources. It is divided into a number of subtopics: sources, fate, and uses; chemical and biochemical properties; essentiality, synergism, and antagonism; background concentrations in biological and nonbiological samples; lethal and sublethal effects, including carcinogenesis, tertogenesis, and mutagenesis; and proposed criteria and research needs for the protection of sensitive organisms. parag Keywords: contaminants; toxicity; fishes; wildlife; natural resources; invertebrates; arsenic; organoarsenicals; carcinogenesis; teratogenesis; mutagenesis; metabolism.

Lead Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates

ISBN:
Category : Lead
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Ecological and toxicological aspects of lead (Pb) in the environment are briefly reviewed, with emphasis on fish and wildlife, their predators, and prey. Subtopics include sources and uses, chemical properties, mode of action, background concentrations, lethal and sublethal effects, and current recommendations for the protection of sensitive living resources. Resources that are at increased risk from Pb include migratory waterfowl that congregate at heavily hunted staging areas and ingest shot, avian predators that consume hunter-wounded game, domestic livestock near smelters and Pb battery recycling paints, wildlife that forage near heavily traveled roads, aquatic life near mining activities and areas of Pb pesticide use or aerosol fallout, and crops and terrestrial invertebrates growing or living in Pb-contaminated soils. Recent legislation limiting the content ofPb in paints, reducing the Pb content in gasoline, and (by 1991-1992) eliminating the use of Pb shot will substantially reduce environmental burdens of Pb.
