Beschreibung

Emphasizing principles rather than practice, this new edition of a bestseller continues to give readers an integrated view of ecotoxicology, from molecules to ecosystems. It describes the major classes of pollutants and discusses their effects on living organisms. It also addresses the question, "what effects do pollutants have on populations, communities, and the whole ecosystem?" In addition to updating the text throughout, this edition includes information on nanoparticle pollution, offers new case studies, and expands coverage of bioaccumulation, biomarkers, and risk assessment. A new chapter explores future prospects for ecotoxicology.
