It covers sources, mechanisms of action and ecotoxicology effects on these organisms. Written by experts in the field, the book offers a comprehensive ecotoxicological analysis involving various emerging contaminants and aquatic organisms, including plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates. Particular attention is given to the translocation of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in aquatic plants, the ecotoxicity of pesticides, and the challenges posed by engineered nanomaterials. In this book, readers will find topics like microplastic pollution indicators in gastropod molluscs, the ecotoxicity of emerging contaminants in aquatic birds and fish, and the recent advances in the ecotoxicity of non-chemical toxic agents. Readers will also discover how aquatic reptiles can be used as biomonitoring models of the ecotoxicity of pesticides in aquatic and semi-aquatic mammals. Paired with its companion volume, "Aquatic Ecotoxicology of Emerging Pollutants: Concepts, Occurrence and Challenges," this book offers a concise yet comprehensive overview of emerging contaminants in the aquatic environment. Given its breadth, this book appeals to a broad and diverse audience, and it is an authoritative and essential resource for academics, researchers, and policymakers interested in deepening their knowledge of environmental issues and aquatic ecosystems. .PPN: PPN: 1937386023Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SBL | ZDB-2-SXB
