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.
