Nelson, M. K., F L. Mayer Jr., AND M. G. Henry. SUMMARY OF WORKSHOP SESSIONS. SETAC Pellston Workshop on Ecotoxicology and Risk Assessment for Wetlands, Fairmont Hot Springs, Anaconda, Montana, 30 July - 3 August 1995.
Description:
Important aspects of the effect of contaminants on wetland ecological structure and function, in both natural and constructed systems, were reviewed and evaluated in a Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Workshop, Ecotoxicology and Risk Assessment for Wetlands, held 30 July-3 August 1995. Experts from many disciplines in the scientific community examined influences of chemical and nonchemical stressors on wetland ecosystems, as well as wetland processes that affect contaminant fate and effects. This special publication summarizes the accomplishments of the workshop and represents an up-to-date compilation of information about several types of wetlands, focusing on identifying creative contaminant treatment solutions, critical issues regarding the fate and effect of contaminants with associated risk, and areas for future research and development.
