Chlorine. Nearly all chlorine compounds are readily soluble in water. As a result, the major reservoir for this element in Figure 1 is the ocean (5). Chloride, as noted earHer, is naturally present at low levels in rain and snow, especially over and near the oceans. Widespread increases in chloride concentration in mnoff in much of the United States can be attributed to the extensive use of sodium chloride and calcium chloride for deicing of streets and highways. Ref. 19 points out the importance of the increased use of deicing salt as a cause of increased chloride concentrations in streams of the northeastern United States and the role of this factor in the chloride trends in Lake Ontario. Increases in chloride concentration also can occur as a result of disposal of sewage, oil field brines, and various kinds of industrial waste. Thus, chloride concentration trends also can be considered as an index of the alternation of streamwater chemistry by human development in the industrialized sections of the world. Although chlorine is an essential element for animal nutrition, it is of less importance for other life forms.

Organophosphate Ester Hydraulic Fluids. Very little is known about the bioavailability of organophosphorus esters. In fish, organophosphate esters appear to be more bioavailable when sediments are not present (Huckins et al. 1991), but chronomids appear to be able to bioaccumulate organophosphate esters from the sediments (Muir et al. 1983b, 1985). Because of this wide variation and the lack of any information in mammalian species, it is difficult to estimate bioavailability to humans. Development of bioavailability information in mammalian species will allow a better understanding of this complex process. Given the concerns over the toxicity of this class of hydraulic fluids, further research on this topic would be useful. 

The evolution of humans and society can be broadly divided into three periods (1) before one million years before present, when early hominids developed into anatomically modern humans (2) from one million to about 10,000 years before present, when modem humans developed and dispersed through the world and (3) between 10,000 years before present and the present time, the period when humans settled, social communities emerged, and organized societies developed. Following this classification, the relevance of the dating methods for the study of these periods is listed below.

The external costs of using the flame retardants are caused by long-term adverse impacts in the aquatic environment (reduction in fish production capacity) and severe nuisance in humans (7) and potentially disturbance in human development (Z). There are as of yet no economic values derived for the latter two but we express the values as Y and U. For reduction in fish production capacity the value from the literature is 1 per kilogram fish [37, 38]. And in our example, we assume that the production capacity is reduced by some 10 tonnes of fish.
