Difficult to measure accurately and deal with effectively, organic
pollutants continue to be a major hazard in the environment.
Significantly expanded, the second edition of Organic Pollutants:
An Ecotoxicological Perspective describes the mechanistic basis of
ecotoxicology, using major groups of pollutants as illustrative
examples, and explores the problem of complex mixtures of
chemicals. New in the Second Edition: Expanded coverage of complex
pollution problems and the exploitation of recent scientific and
technological developments to investigate them New chapters:
Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and their Environmental Impacts and
Neurotoxicity and Behavioral Effects Additional information on
biomarker approaches and new technologies, such as microarrays
assays, developed to address complex pollution problems
Tried-and-True Format Presents Updated Information Keeping the same
format that made the first edition so popular, the text begins with
coverage of the basic principles underpinning the environmental
behavior and effects of organic pollutants. It then describes the
properties and ecotoxicology of major pollutants, discusses some
issues that arise after consideration of the material in the second
part of the text, and explores future prospects. Mechanistic
Approach Provides Basis for Development of New Strategies The book
takes a bottom up approach, describing the mechanisms by which
pollutants have harmful effects on living organisms and how these
effects are translated into adverse changes at the population
level. This mechanistic approach supplies the basis for development
of new mechanistic biomarker assays, which in turn provide measures
of toxic effect and not merely of exposure, and subsequently
provide evidence of causality between pollutant levels and
ecological changes.

Cutting across traditional subject boundaries, Principles of
Ecotoxicology, Fourth Edition gives readers an integrated view of
ecotoxicology, from molecules to ecosystems. This new edition of a
bestselling textbook continues to emphasize principles rather than
practice, providing the interdisciplinary perspective and grounding
required for research. Organized into three sections, the book
first describes the molecular structures, properties, and
environmental fate of pollutants. It then deals with the effects of
pollutants on living organisms at the molecular, cellular, and
individual levels. Moving into population biology and population
genetics, the third part of the book addresses a question of great
interest to ecologists: What effects do pollutants have at the
levels of population, community, and the whole ecosystem? The book
also looks at how ecotoxicology is used in the biomonitoring of
environmental pollution, the investigation of pollution problems,
the conducting of field trials, the study of the development of
resistance, and the growing area of environmental risk assessments.
Throughout, examples and case studies illustrate the principles.
This updated fourth edition includes new material on nanoparticle
pollution, bioaccumulation, biomarkers, and chemical warfare in
nature, as well as a new chapter on the future directions of
ecotoxicology. A concise textbook that will also appeal to
practicing ecotoxicologists, it provides a solid basis for
understanding what happens to chemicals in the real world, where
they go, how they ultimately degrade, and how they affect the
individuals and populations that encounter them. What's New in This

Many previous studies and books have been dedicated to fundamental
and developmental aspects of biomarkers. The purpose of this book
is to provide, through various case studies, an overview of the
practical use of biological markers in marine animals to evaluate
the health effects of environmental contamination in marine
ecosystems.
More precisely, the book presents the results obtained during the
development and application of biological markers as indicators of
exposure/effect to toxic chemicals in marine environments, using
diverse sentinel species such as fish, bivalves and crustaceans. An
important aspect is also the publication of technical annexes that
describe in detail the experimental procedures developed for both
chemical and biochemical measurement.
