While current methods used in ecological risk assess-

are attracting growing interest from industries and
governments. This book identifies which methods are
most appropriate for pesticide assessment and
explores their appropriateness for general use. The
authors discuss classical and Bayesian approaches,
various types of Monte Carlo analysis, first order error
analysis, probability bounds analysis, interval analysis,
and fuzzy mathematics. They then examine how
these methods can be used in assessments for other
environmental contaminants.

endocrine disruptors and neurotoxicity and its behav-
ioral effects. The text also provides additional infor-
mation on biomarker approaches and offers an
overview of new technologies, such as microarray
assays, that are being developed to address complex
pollution problems. Through a mechanistic
approach, this book continues to provide essential
knowledge of toxic mechanisms that produce
adverse ecological effects, serving as valuable guid-
ance for carrying out the risk assessment of environ-
mental chemicals.

The Use and
Fate of
Pesticides in
Vegetable-
Based Agro-
Ecosystems in
Ghana
William Joseph Ntow
This book covers pesticide use, behavior, and impacts
in vegetable-based agro-ecosystems and presents the
results of surveys conducted in Ghana. It provides a
better understanding of the potential impact of pes-
ticide usage on the ecosystem, which will contribute
to better pesticide management. The results of the
study establish essential, but yet missing, information
on the levels and fate of pesticide residues in the envi-
ronment of Ghana as well as the public health impli-
cations of the use of pesticides in agriculture.

This book examines methods for evaluating the
potential risks of veterinary medicines to aquatic and
terrestrial ecosystems. More than 30 experts from
eight countries provide guidance on standard risk
assessment approaches for assessing the environ-
mental effects of veterinary medicines. The text dis-
cusses pathways to the environment, exposure and
effects assessment, and risk assessment and manage-
ment. It reviews classes of veterinary medicines and
current regulations, identifies the environmental fate
of the medicines, and assesses the use of modeling
approaches.

ecological risk assessment and identifies the data needs
and situations where these extrapolations can be most
usefully applied. It also covers the extrapolation of
exposures in the context of interactions between toxi-

guide to the application of these extrapolation proce-
dures that is designed to be useful to regulators and risk
managers at several levels and in the education of stu-
dents in these environmental disciplines.

A concise examination of different aspects of law and

determining water rights in the United States. The
book looks at the systems used in the west, which
take into account the arid nature of the climate and
the vast amount of government-owned property,
and contrasts those against systems in the east,
which are largely based on ownership of riparian
land. Special sections are included, which deal with
Native American rights, environmental regulation,
nuisance and tort law, and social theory. The materi-
al is supplemented with tables of cases and statutes,
as well as a glossary and a list of web links for all 50
state codes.

An exploration of the human-related aspects of sus-

need to move away from an unwanted circumstance
by being systemic in our thinking instead of sympto-
matic. The authors argue that we cannot move away
from an unwanted, negative circumstance, unless we
can move toward a desired, positive outcome.
Revealing the multidimensional nature of sustainable
development, the text summarizes positive
approaches and presents strong theoretical and his-
torical pieces along with salient case examples that
illustrate the desired outcome of each model or
framework discussed.
