Environmental contaminants in biota : : interpreting tissue concentrations / / edited by W. Nelson Beyer, James P. Meador.
"Examining tissue residues of contaminants in biota reveals the movement of contaminants within organisms and through food chains as well as the context for understanding and quantifying injuries to organisms and their communities. Yet tissue concentrations of some contaminants are especially c...
