Ecotoxicology, Paperback / softback Book

Paperback / softback

Description

Ecotoxicology offers a comprehensive overview of the science underpinning the recognition and management of environmental contamination.

It describes the toxicology of environmental contaminants, the methods used for assessing their toxicity and ecological impacts, and approaches employed to mitigate pollution and ecological health risks globally.

Chapters cover the latest advances in research, including genomics, natural toxins, endocrine disruption and the toxicology of radioactive substances.

The second half of the book focuses on applications, such as cradle-to-grave effects of selected industries, legal and economic approaches to environmental regulation, ecological risk assessment, and contaminated site remediation.

With short capsules written by invited experts, numerous case studies from around the world and further reading lists, this textbook is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate one-semester courses.

It is also a valuable reference for graduate students and professionals.

Online resources for instructors and students are also available.
