| Summary |
"This book provides a reference source on various techniques available for assessing contaminant bioavailability by presenting detailed chapters on fundamental principles governing contaminant bioavailability, indicators of bioavailability and potential implications of bioavailability to environmental and human health. Case studies are presented to demonstrate the impact of high bioavailability to ecosystems health."--BOOK JACKET |

| Notes |
Based on a symposium that Drs Ravi Naidu and Domy Adriano organized during the 4th International Symposium on the Biogeochemistry of Trace Elements held on June 23-26, 1997 at the University of California, Berkely, California. This special symposium also served as a precursor to the International Workshop on Chemical Bioavailablity in the Terrestrial Environment, first held at the CSIRO, Adelaide in 1999 -- Foreword |
