Environments at Risk is designed as an introductory text and uses case histories of environmental impact assessment to raise issues important in controlling environmental problems.
A massive phytoplankton bloom, locally termed "e;brown tide"e;, suddenly appeared in Long Island marine bays in 1985, colored the water a dark brown, decimated eelgrass beds and caused catastrophic starvation and recruitment failure of commercially important bay scallop populations.
In 1977, the Volkswagen Foundation sponsored the first of a series of International Symposia on Fire Ecology at Freiburg University, Federal Republic of Germany.
All over the world, the awareness of the increasing pollution of rivers, estuaries and the sea with its associated impact on these ecosystems, its effect on organisms, food-chains, water supply and finally on man himself is growing.
The understanding of pollutant transformations, sorption and transport in soils and uptake by plants is the key to controlling contaminant movement towards groundwater and accumulation in food-chains.
The Fourth International Workshop on "e;In Vitro Effects of Mineral Dusts on Cells"e; was held on September 20 - 23, 1988 in Auberge Estrimont, Orford, Quebec, Canada.
This preface is being written at a time of exceptional public interest in the North Sea, following media head- lines on toxic algal blooms, the mass mortality of common seals, and concern over pollution levels.

"e;The chemical laboratory is actually not a dangerous place to work in, but it demands a reasonable prudence on the part of the experimenters and instructers, to keep it a safe place.
There have been many significant microbiological, biochemical and technological advances made in the understanding and implementation of anaerobic digestion processes with respect to industrial and domestic wastewater treatment.
Rapidly increasing interest in the problems of air pollution and source-receptor relationships has led to a significant expansion of knowledge in the field of atmospheric chemistry.
Exposure to polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and -furanes at very low concentrations is of particular interest with respect to possible human health risks.
