Lincer, J., M. Haynes, AND M. Klein. THE ECOLOGICAL IMPACT OF SYNTHETIC ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ON ESTUARINE ECOSYSTEMS. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/3-76/075 (NTIS PB259943), 1976.
Description:
The review and indexed bibliography concerns the presence and effects of pesticides (i.e., insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc.) and industrial toxicants in the estuarine ecosystem. The industrial toxicants refer, primarily, to polychlorinated biphenyls, but phthalate esters, polychlorinated terphenyls, chlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans are also discussed. The review covers literature of the last decade, with emphasis on the most recent 5 years. However, the 700-plus references in the bibliography span a much wider range. A permuted keyword retrieval system (SPINDEX) is provided to allow practical use of the bibliography by scientists, academicians, and societal decision makers.
