This book takes an interdisciplinary, selective look at the  effector mechanisms employed in such directives. It covers the  pre-marketing use of toxicology to identify the hazardous properties  of chemicals, acknowledging its shortcomings, while contrasting the  scientific method with the precautionary principle in developing  risk-management practices. The book then goes on to describe the use  of bio-indicators, chemical analyses and mathematical modelling for  prediction, or to determine the adequacy of chemical safety  legislation. The environmental risk assessment of priority chemicals  is described and the impact of pesticides on sustainability in  agriculture is discussed from the differing standpoints of agronomy  and economics. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e All professionals concerned with the safe management  of chemicals and their use, including teachers, practitioners, policy  makers or legislators.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401062336\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5316-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 200\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359161217164,"sku":"9789401062336","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401062336.jpg?v=1771518433","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401062336","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
