Executive summary
This book on Ecological Assessment of Selenium in the Aquatic Environment synthesizes and advances the state-of-the-science regarding this unique metalloid and identies critical knowledge gaps. Assessment methods appropriate for other metals and metalloids are not always appropriate for selenium (Se). Selenium requires site-specific risk assessments to a much greater extent than do many other contaminants, including adequate quality assurance and quality control of chemical and biological analyses.
