Environmental monitoring. Analytical studies for the US environmental protection agency, volume 4
162
BOOKREVIEWS
Although viruses cannot multiply in water or in food, their presence in water and food, even in the smallest amounts (a few virus particles), may infect and seriously affect consumers. The papers in this book discuss the various, more easily detected, organisms, e.g. coliform bacteria, which are used as indicators of pollution and contamination of environmental waters. The controversial nature of the problems regarding viruses and the way in which their probable presence may be indicated are discussed. The text will interest bacteriologists, virologists and scientists and engineers in the field of public health.
Phosphorus in the Environment: Its Chemistry and Biochemistry. Edited by R. Porter and D. W. Fitzsimons. CIBA Foundation Symposium 57 (New Series). Elsevier, Excerpta Medica, North-Holland, Amsterdam, Oxford, New York. 1978. Pp. 320. Price: $31.75, Dr. 72.60. Phosphorus is essential to life but in too large amounts it is a serious pollutant. The sixteen papers contained in this volume and given at a CIBA Foundation symposium held in London in September 1977 discuss the various problems. The world's resources are seen to be sufficient for man's needs, at current rates of consumption, for several hundred years, so today's uses, and the problems (e.g. eutrophication), arising from them are likely to continue, although most of them are, at least theoretically, soluble.
