Publisher's Note
"This volume is the only work of its kind that contains current knowledge and research in the areas of environment fate and effects of pulp and paper effluents and provides a course of direction for future research on the major environmental issues of paper mill operations". SETAC News In recent years, there have been emerging concerns regarding the fate and effects of pulp and paper mill effluents on the environment. Countries throughout the world are focusing attention on the implementation of regulatory and monitoring programs. In response, industry has begun to implement a variety of process and treatment technologies designed to minimize or eliminate the potential impacts. Environmental Fate and Effects of Pulp and Paper Mill Effluents explores the most active and critical current research and experimentation from around the world. This comprehensive overview examines the identity and origin of chemicals in pulp mill effluents, environmental fate of chemicals from pulp and paper mills, bioaccumulation of substances from pulp mills to fish and wildlife, field and laboratory studies of biochemical and whole organism responses associated with pulp and paper effluents, integrated monitoring and future research, and policy directions of this rapidly evolving field. Written by prominent scientists from around the world with contributions from industry, government, and academia, this important new book provides a balanced global perspective of the recent scientific findings and the challenges being faced in the immediate future. -- Reviews current state of understanding and addresses each specific area of research -- Includes a series of contributed peer-reviewed researchpapers -- Summarizes the most recent advances and future direction in each area of research or policy development -- Provides a balanced global perspective
Industry Reviews
Contains 61 papers contributed by scientists from ten countries, from
the 2nd International Conference on Environmental Fate and Effects of
Bleached Pulp Mill Effluents, held in Vancouver, Canada, November
1994. Organization is according to seven major themes: identity and
origin of chemicals in pulp mill effluents; environmental fate of
chemicals; bioaccumulation of substances in fish and wildlife; field
and laboratory studies of biochemcal responses, and of whole organism
responses associated with pulp and paper effluents; integrated
monitoring; and future research and policy directions. Each section
contains opening and closing summaries.
