Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology is designed as a
self-study tool for undergraduate students. Questions review the
origin, characterization and environmental distribution of major
pollutants, followed by their absorption and metabolic disposition
in living organisms. They address implications for the development
of cancer, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary dysfunction and
neurological conditions in relation to gaseous pollutants,
particulates, persistent organic compounds and radioactive
emissions, then cover the impact of pollutants on biodiversity,
food safety, and water contamination. This book: Covers toxicology
from human morbidity, ecological impact and biodiversity
perspectives, and emphasizes the impact of diverse organic
pollutants in worsening these interconnected phenomena, leading to
wider environmental emergencies; Provides a selection of
fill-in-the-gap, multiple choice and short answer question types
for students to vary their learning and enhance motivation;
Includes full answer rationales, allowing students to gain true
insight into the subject. Providing support to programs across
environmental science, ecology and human health, and covering all
the major biological toxins and pollutants as well as unintended
consequences of actions designed to improve outcomes, this book may
be used in conjunction with the companion volume Introduction to
Environmental Toxicology.
