Published June 1995      717 + ix pages        ISBN 0-905927-69-9

Peer reviewed papers on naturally and anthropogenic induced metal source-receptor relationships, biogeochemical processes and mechanisms, the transport and bioavailability of metals in terrestrial and aquatic food chains, technologies to abate and remediate metal deficiencies and excesses. Other topics include agricultural ecosystems, sewage sludges,  bioconcentration and ecotoxicology of trace elements, regulatory, risk and health aspects, global concerns and analytical methods.

Of interest to: geochemists, epidemiologists, environmental safety officers, environmental consultants and assessors, environmental and analytical chemists, planners in local and national government
