Description

Here, in an easy-to-use format, is a single source that provides a complete listing of the trace element content of a wide range of substances. This easily accessible book provides complete descriptions, by element, for 41 trace elements found in the environment (earth's crust, soil, water) and in plants, animals, and humans. Ecologists and plant, animal, and human physiologists will find this a valuable addition to their libraries and, most likely, their briefcases. Coverage includes trace elements, transition metals, micronutrients; characteristics of trace elements presented alphabetically by element; concentrations in both naturally occurring and man-made substances; ecological impact of industrial waste products; poor growth and health problems in animals; and deficiencies and toxicities.
