BOOK
Aquatic Pollutants and Biologic Effects with Emphasis on Neoplasia
This volume is a collection of scientific papers presented at a conference held by the New York Academy of Sciences in September 1976. It examines the occurrence, distribution, and biological effects of chemical pollutants in aquatic environments, with a particular focus on their role in causing neoplasia (tumor formation). 4
The work discusses:
The presence and fate of organic and inorganic contaminants in water
Mechanisms of toxic and carcinogenic effects in aquatic organisms
Case studies of tumors in fish, mollusks, and other species
