Thousands of inorganic and organic chemicals and their metabolites enter the biosphere daily as a direct result of human activities. Many of these chemicals have serious consequences on sensitive species of natural resources, crops, livestock, and public health. The most hazardous of these were identified by a panel of environmental specialists from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; these chemicals are the focus of this encyclopedia.For each priority group of chemicals, information is presented on sources, uses, physical and chemical properties, tissue concentrations in field collections and their significance, lethal and sublethal effects under controlled conditions. This includes effects on survival, growth, reproduction, metabolism, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, and mutagenicity - and proposed regulatory criteria for the protection of sensitive natural resources, crops, livestock, and human health. Taxonomic groups of natural resources covered include terrestrial and aquatic plants and invertebrates, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.* The only product that centers on the most hazardous environmental chemicals to sensitive natural resources* The only single volume compendium on the subject, allowing ease in consulting* Written by a noted national and international authority on chemical risk assessment to living organisms

The federal Toxic Substances Management Policy provides a framework based on two key objectives. The first or Track 1 objective is the virtual elimination from the environment of toxic substances that are persistent, bioaccumulative, and result primarily from human activity. This report presents an assessment of toxaphene against the criteria for selection of Track 1 substances under the Policy. It includes background information on toxaphene and documentation of the evidence considered in the assessment under the four criteria: whether the substance is predominantly anthropogenic; environmental persistence; bioaccumulation or bioconcentration factors; and toxicity under the priority substances provisions of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act.
