Risk Assessment of Pesticides
Central Science Laboratory, York, England, UK
Theo C. Brock
While current methods used in ecological risk assessments for pesticides are largely deterministic, quantifiable results garnered using probabilistic methods 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.
With contributions from leading international scientists, this volume provides guidance and recommendations for linking aquatic exposure and ecotoxicological effects in the environmental assessment of agricultural pesticides. It incorporates the tools and approaches currently available for assessing the environmental risks of time-variable exposure profiles of pesticides. The book includes a glossary of terms, recommendations for future research, and registration procedures for plant protection products, such as a novice’s guide to FOCUS surface water and an overview of extrapolation techniques.

Ahsan Uddin Ahmed and Qazi Kholiquzzaman Ahmad Bangladesh Unnayan Parishad (BUP), Dhaka
An examination of the complex issue of human interventions in natural systems and their profound environmental, social, economic, and political implications, this book discusses India's plan to interlink its rivers and the implications of this for water supply in other cobasin countries. It reviews risks and critical disadvantages, then offers viable less-risky solutions for water resource development.

Laurent Seuront
University of Georgia, Athens, USA
Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia
Written by acknowledged experts in the field, Modeling Phosphorus in the Environment combines traditional models with new approaches derived from modern technology and assesses the current state of modeling P. It allows researchers, engineering consultants, soil and groundwater scientists, regulators, and others to access and consider all the models available for predicting the fate of phosphorus in the environment, so they can readily select the model that best fits their own situation.
Fractals and Multifractals in Ecology and Aquatic Science provides scientists with a basic understanding of fractals and multifractals and the techniques that utilize them in analyzing ecological phenomenon. These techniques are especially valuable for analyzing spatial data sets and physical-biological couplings at different spatial and/or temporal scales. Written in a step-by-step fashion, this volume demystifies the techniques, which are often regarded as too complex , and provides an intuitive as well as a formal view for a wide variety of ecological situations and their solutions.

Okechukwu Ukaga, Chris Maser, and Michael Reichenbach An exploration of the human-related aspects of sustainable development, this book emphasizes the need to move away from an unwanted circumstance by being systemic in our thinking instead of symptomatic. 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 historical pieces along with salient case examples that illustrate the desired outcome of each model or framework discussed.
