Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expected Gaussian or skewed-Gaussian curve for lethal thermal limits did not materialize. Instead an abrupt death point occurred often within an interval of 1°C and in many cases within 0.5°C resembling a step function. One of the most important conclusions from this data is that the temperature tolerances obtained in the laboratory conformed closely to those observed in the field. Thus, the field data (Perkison, in preparation, Bader, et al., 1970) could be interpreted with more validity as to the effect of temperature versus other environmental factors. It should be emphasized that the laboratory upper thermal limits of the algae were borne out in distribution in the field in each case. The upper limits found in the laboratory for Halimeda, Penicillus, and Valonia were found to be the thermal limits in the field. When sustained temperatures above those found as laboratory survival limits were encountered at Turkey Point, these plants disappeared.

Download or read book Aquatic Pollutants written by O. Hutzinger and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2015-12-04 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquatic Pollutants: Transformation and Biological Effects contains the proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Aquatic Pollutants held at Noordwijkerhout (Amsterdam), The Netherlands on September 26-28, 1977. Organized into 47 chapters, this book first describes the aquatic pollutants and their potential biological effects. Subsequent chapters elucidate chemicals with pollution potential; multidetection approach to analysis of organic pollutants in water; volatilization of pollutants from water; microbial transformations of aromatic pollutants; and photochemical transformation of pollutants in water. Other chapters address oxidation of organic compounds in aquatic systems; laboratory microcosms for use in determining pollutant stress; continuous biomonitoring systems for detection of toxic levels of water pollutants; and health aspects of water recycling practices. This book will be useful as a review of existing knowledge in this field. It will also stimulate further thought and research.

Download or read book Oil in the Sea III written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-03-14 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1970s, experts have recognized that petroleum pollutants were being discharged in marine waters worldwide, from oil spills, vessel operations, and land-based sources. Public attention to oil spills has forced improvements. Still, a considerable amount of oil is discharged yearly into sensitive coastal environments. Oil in the Sea provides the best available estimate of oil pollutant discharge into marine waters, including an evaluation of the methods for assessing petroleum load and a discussion about the concerns these loads represent. Featuring close-up looks at the Exxon Valdez spill and other notable events, the book identifies important research questions and makes recommendations for better analysis ofâ€"and more effective measures againstâ€"pollutant discharge. The book discusses: Inputâ€"where the discharges come from, including the role of two-stroke engines used on recreational craft. Behavior or fateâ€"how oil is affected by processes such as evaporation as it moves through the marine environment. Effectsâ€"what we know about the effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on marine organisms and ecosystems. Providing a needed update on a problem of international importance, this book will be of interest to energy policy makers, industry officials and managers, engineers and researchers, and advocates for the marine environment.
