There is a valuable summary article on 'Ecosystem Response to Pollution'.
Disinfection of Wastewater and Water for Reuse. By Geo. Clifford White. Van Nostrand Reinhold Environmental Engineering Series, New York. 1978. Pp. 387. Price: £18.40. A comprehensive and practical account of the various methods and techniques used for the treatment of wastewater with a view to recycling it. Aimed at engineers and public health officials; also of interest to graduate students and research workers. Water Chlorination. Environmental Impact and Health Effects, Vois 1 and 2. Edited by R. J. Jolley, H. Gorchev and D. H. Hamilton Jr. Ann Arbor Science, Ann Arbor. 1978. Pp. 439 (Vol. 1), 909 (Vol. 2). Price: Vol. 1, £13.85; Vol. 2, £18.90. These two volumes contain the papers given at the two conferences, held in 1975 and 1977, on the Environmental Impact of Water Chlorination. The conferences were sponsored by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Energy Research and Development Agency and the US Environmental Protection Agency. The two volumes give a comprehensive picture of the subject, with an emphasis on current research. Possible alternatives to chlorine are considered.
