"In Volume 2 of Small-scale freshwater toxicity investigations, 11 chapters on hazard assessment schemes are described in great detail by way of a homogeneous structure that all contributors had to follow. These comprehensive texts allow readers to know the different approaches/strategies, based on applying batteries of bioassays, that are being used internationally to assess the toxic potential of complex environmental media (e.g., effluents, sediments) impacted by chemical contamination stemming from human activities. The contents of Volume 2 offer relevant knowledge on how to deal with (non)point source pollution issues exemplified by case studies taken from ""real world situations"", thereby enabling the right decisions to be taken to ensure protection of aquatic environments. All groups directly or indirectly involved with the protection and conservation of freshwater environments will find Volume 2 appealing, as will those who simply wish to become familiar with the field of aquatic hazard assessment based on the use of bioassays."
