Review
In terms of user friendliness, the book is well organized and presented, with clear figures and tables. The index is comprehensive and the editors have included a very useful appendix…a text of uniform quality in terms of style and readability…contains a wealth of data and interpretation, and should prove to be an important source of information…

Book Description
Coastal plains and river valleys, some of the most sensitive but understudied ecosystems in the world, are home to agriculture on a vast scale. Streams and rivers receive the majority of agricultural runoff, carrying insecticides, fungicides and other pesticides into estuaries and coastal zones. Strategies must be developed to help economically viable agriculture coexist with natural resources. This volume brings together toxicology experts to assess pesticide burdens in the major food-producing tropical countries. A practical guide to recent research and applications, it is essential reading for environmental professionals, ecotoxicologists, marine chemists and agrochemists.
