A Handbook to Estimate Climatological Concentration Deposit and Horizontal Fluxes of Pollutants on a Regional Scale - Technical Report
(1979)
It is now recognized that the air transport of pollutants to distances outside of urban and local industrial areas must be considered for a number of environmental problems. Two general types of problems arise.. In the ...
Analytical Methods of Detection Identification and Quantitative Determination of Aflatoxins in Foodstuffs and Fodder
(Monitoring and Assessment Research Centre, 1984)
Analytical Methods of Detection Identification and Quantitative Determination of Aflatoxins in Foodstuffs and Fodder
An Introduction to the Exposure Commitment Concept with Reference to Environmental Mercury - MARC Report Number 12
(Monitoring and Assessment Research Centre, 1979)
When a toxic substance is released to the environment, it may not immediately reach and affect a population of sensitive receptors. This is particularly true if the substance must pass through a sequence of environmental ...
Atmospheric Pathways of Sulphur Compounds: A General Report - MARC Report Number 7
(1978)
This report broadly reviews the atmospheric transport of sulphur compounds on a regional scale. It lists estimates of present global emissions and summarizes present knowledge concerning transport models needed to estimate ...
Environmental Impact Assessment : Siting and Design of Submarine Outfalls - MARC Report Number 43
(1988)
The purpose of this document is to provide a compact guide for technical personnel in developing countries who need a perspective and ready reference on the possible environmental impact resulting from marine disposal ...
Exposure Commitment Assessments of Environmental Pollutants Volume 1 Number 1: Exposure Commitment Concepts and Application; Summary Exposure Assessments for Lead, Cadmium and Arsenic - MARC Report Number 23
(1981)
This paper gives the definitions, notation, and basic concepts of the method and briefly discusses the application to the transfer of pollutants from sources to man. Exposure commitments give a basis for comparing contributions ...
Health Effects of Methylmercury - MARC Report Number 24
(1981)
This study critically reviews recent data relating to the health effects of methylmercury in man and the attendant dose-response relationships. New data obtained from animal studies are also examined, including pre- and ...
Lead Pollution of the Global Environment - Progress Reports in Environmental Monitoring And Assessment 1: Lead - MARC Report Number 16-18
(1980)
The production and release of lead into the environment is briefly reviewed and some attempt is made to quantify the movement of lead from atmosphere to man, both via the soil food chain and the respiration pathway. Existing ...
Lead in the Soil Environment: A Technical Report - MARC Report Number 21
(Monitoring and Assessment Research Centre, 1980)
This survey of the literature on lead in soil discusses methods of estimation of total and available lead in soils, the relationships between soil properties and the uptake of lead by plants, and the form and distribution ...
A Preliminary Evaluation Of WMO-UNEP Precipitation Chemistry Data - MARC Report Number 22
(Monitoring and Assessment Research Centre, 1980)
In this paper a preliminary evaluation is made of some of the precipitation chemistry data available from the network for the period 1972-76. It is expected that a more thorough analysis of the quality of the data and the ...
