The two volumes
comprising this new handbook provide a unique resource for studies involving toxicity profiles in aquatic,
avian, and mammalian species. The arrangement of material in alphabetical order by species allows the reader straightforward access to information on the effects of chemicals on various life forms. For each group of species, the acute and chronic (short- and long-term) toxicity data are arranged in descending order, enabling the reader to evaluate the relative toxicity of chemicals for any given species. This arrangement of data also indicates the
relative importance of exposure routes. Toxicity profiles include LC50 values, cancer indices, and Virtually Safe Doses
