5203 |a"Society has created a vast chemical industry that affects all aspects of our life, so much so that without chemicals our technological lifestyles would grind to a halt. The industry now generates for every inhabitant of North America over one ton of chemicals a year, comprising more than 60,000 different substances. This immense production, in some form, eventually ends up in the environment. And by their every nature, once in the environment, chemicals penetrate living organisms, creating a generalized phenomenon that we call ecotoxicity. It is an insidious form of toxicity because, by virtue of interdependence, the life-support systems of all living organisms become toxic"--Abstract.
