Examining tissue residues of contaminants in biota reveals the
movement of contaminants within organisms and through food chains
as well as the context for understanding and quantifying injuries
to organisms and their communities. Yet tissue concentrations of
some contaminants are especially challenging to interpret and the
ability of today's analytical chemists to provide reliable
analytical data of most important environmental contaminants often
surpasses the ability of ecotoxicologists to interpret those data.
Offering guidance on the ecotoxicologically meaningful
interpretation of tissue concentrations, Environmental Contaminants
in Biota, Interpreting Tissue Concentrations, Second Edition is
updated with current data and new ways of analyzing those data as
well as additional contaminants not previously considered.
Beginning with a history of wildlife toxicology and data
interpretation, chapters cover a wide range of contaminants and
their hazardous and lethal concentrations in various animals
including DDT, Dioxins, PCBs, and PBDEs in aquatic organisms;
methylmurcury, selenium, and trace metals in fishes and aquatic
invertebrates; and pharmaceuticals and organic contaminants in
marine mammals. The book considers the impact of Polychlorinated
Biphenyls, Dibenzo-p-Dioxins and Dibenzofurans, and Polybrominated
Diphenyl Ethers; cyclodiene; and other organochlorine pesticides in
birds and mammals. Later chapters examine the effects and analysis
of lead, cadmium, and radionuclides in biota. With thousands of
published research papers reporting tissue concentrations each
year, Environmental Contaminants in Biota, Interpreting Tissue
Concentrations, Second Edition gives ecotoxicologists the ability
to draw actionable value regarding the toxicological consequences
of those concentrations and relate tissue concentrations
quantitatively to injury: the core of ecotoxicology.
