However, the measurement of this construct among lesbian and bisexual women or racial and ethnic minority individuals has not yet been adequately investigated. Th...
full textToxic Effects on Individuals, Populations and Aquatic Ecosystems and Indicators of Exposures to Chemicals*
Biological responses to chemical pollutants that enter the biogeochemical cycles of the biosphere can be sensitive indicators of the presence and impact of those chemicals. For decades, biologists have measured characteristics of aquatic and other communities to assess their well-being. Much of the effort has been an attempt to find "the all-encompassing measure" that will define the damage and...
