Description

"In recent decades, with the rapid economic development in Asia, the effects of various persistent pollutants on human health and the ecosystem have caused increasing concerns among scientists and administrators in the region and beyond. However, for decades research on POPs in Asia has lagged behind those in Europe and North America. Data are limited and vary greatly in quality. In addition, data are scattered among numerous journals and documents, many of which are in native languages. This book is a compilation of the most current knowledge on the sources, distributions, transport, and fates of selected POPs from the rapidly developing regions of Asia."--BOOK JACKET.
