A handbook of environmental toxicology : human disorders and ecotoxicology / J. P. Felix D'Mello (editor)
Oxfordshire, UK : CAB International, Wallingford, 2020
675 pages. : illustrations (some color) ; 26 cm.
Ký hiệu phân loại (DDC): 362.19698
This handbook focuses on human disorders and ecotoxicology, as affected by major toxins originally from biology sources and pollutants, and radiation generated spontaneously or as a result of anthropogenic activity. The book explores the cutting edge of research and also indicates the likely direction of future developments.

Ecotoxicology essentials : environmental contaminants and their biological effects on Animals and pla / D W Sparling
London, UK : Academic Press is an imprint of Elsevier, 2016
ix, 490 pages : illustrations (chiefly color), maps (some color) ; 23 cm
Ký hiệu phân loại (DDC): 363.7
Ecotoxicology Essentials: Environmental Contaminants and Their Biological Effects on Animals and Plants provides a fundamental understanding of this area for students and professionals in ecotoxicology, ecology, conservation, chemistry, public health, wildlife management, fisheries, and many other disciplines. Although new chemicals and potential problems are developed every year, a basic education is essential to address these new challenges, and this work gives such training. Written with the regulatory framework in mind, the material guides readers on modelling, how to conduct assessments, and human and wildlife risk, focusing on effects on animals rather than transport of chemicals. Simple discussions of chemistry are complemented by coverage on the behavior of the animal, dynamics of the ecosystem, real-life situations like drought, and predators in the system -- i.e., the natural system versus the lab setting. The book's first section contains chapters on the principles of contaminant toxicology including a brief history of the science of ecotoxicology, basic principles of the science, testing methods, and ways of determining if animals have been exposed to either acute or chronic concentrations of contaminants. The second section deals with the primary classes of contaminants including their chemical characteristics, sources, uses, and effects on organisms. The third section focuses on more complex issues such as the regulation of pollution, population and community effects, risk assessment and modelling. Uses examples from both aquatic and terrestrial environments and species Includes a Terms to Know section and a list of study questions in each chapter, fostering a greater understanding of the issues Focuses on the effects of contaminants on wildlife while providing enough chemistry to allow a detailed understanding of the various contaminant groups Emphasizes natural examples and 'real' species, rather than laboratory studies on only a handful of organisms Features case histories, detailing actual events that include aspects of how the contamination occurred and its effects on wildlife Provides material from a wide variety of international sources.

Environmental risk assessment : a toxicological approach / Ted Simon
Boca Raton : CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, 2014
408 pages. : illustrations, maps ; 25 cm
Ký hiệu phân loại (DDC): 363.732
Risk assessment is of increasing importance as health and safety regulations grow and become more complicated. Focusing on environmental risk assessment, this book looks at various factors relating to exposure and toxicity, human health, and risk. The book is aimed at practitioners and students who need to know more about understanding, developing, conducting, and interpreting risk assessments. It provides sufficient background to enable readers to probe for themselves the science underlying the key issues in environmental risk
