Environmental Specimen Banking and Monitoring as Related to Banking Proceedings of the International Workshop, Saarbruecken, Federal Republic of Germany, 10–15 May, 1982

There is a great dispar.ity between the ability of the major industrial nations to produce and distribute chemicals and our ability to comprehend the nature and potential severity of unintended consequences for man, his life support systems and the environment generally. Furthermore, the gap between...
