Description
Introduction to Ecotoxicology is becoming more prominent in the curricula of wildlife, biology and environmental science departments in universities and colleges. This book is a response to that development and addresses some of the aspects which have become more significant over recent years, such as ecological risk assessment and biomarkers.
However, it takes a broad view of the subject, ranging from the chemical and biochemical level to ecosystems and management. The book is aimed primarily at undergraduate students who have completed basic courses in biology and chemistry.
Additionally, the book will be useful to consultants, civil servants and others involved in water quality evaluation, waste engineering, environmental impact assessment, biological conservation, and toxic chemical management.
