The book mainly introduces readers to the development and current
status of water quality criteria (WQC) in China and other
countries or areas, and proposes a minimum toxicity data
requirement (MTDR; i.e., six species from three phyla) as the
principle metric for deriving WQC in China. Further, ten model
species from 4 different phyla are recommended as domestic test
species, and the methodologies for deriving aquatic life
criteria, sediment criteria, ecocriteria and nutrient criteria in
China are also described in detail. In order to demonstrate the
methods, several representative chemical pollutants and aquatic
environments are highlighted as examples. The book provides
important references for future WQC-related research in China,
which will make it of great interest to researchers and graduate
students in the fields of environmental science, ecology and
aquatic science etc.
