Standards and environmental criteria: the practical application of the results of laboratory experiments and field trials to pollution control.
The derivation of standards and their application to the regulation of marine environmental quality are discussed, including the rôle of monitoring. The significance of experimentally determined sublethal effects in relation to the setting of environmental standards is considered. Contemporary approaches to pollution control are compared especially as they affect problems of standard setting.
