摘要

This publication represents the proceedings of two symposia conducted jointly by the US EPA and the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. The published papers from these symposia contain both broadly based review papers,designed to familiarize attendees with a wide cross-sectional representation of ecologically related activities in each country,and narrowly specific state-of-the-art scientific discussions. The presentations focus upon methodology,historical aspects,microbial and abiotic degradation processes,trace metal problems,effects of toxicants,proposed species indices,and studies of fate and transport of pollutants.
