Marine pollution : diagnosis and therapy

Wide-ranging in scope, Marine Pollution covers household and industrial wastes, ocean dumping, the effects of oil and radioactivity, the influence of toxic materials on geochemical and biochemical processes, and the dangers of wide-spread pollution by heavy metals and organic substances. This English translation of the highly acclaimed German original has been revised and expanded to keep pace with the rapid progress of research in the field. A particularly large number of changes were made in the chapter on oil pollution, and new chapters on waste heat and radioactivity in the ocean have been added.
