The emphasis is on ecosystems; therefore toxicological approaches are critically assessed.\u003cbr\u003eFollowing a brief introduction to the principal characteristics of both pollutants and ecosystems, the various ecosystem components are considered in more detail. Populations, communities and gene pools are examined with an emphasis on the ways in which pollutants affect them specifically. The indirect effects of pollution are considered separately in a new chapter with particular attention paid to the mechanisms and biological effects of global warming. A discussion of the methods used to predict and to monitor the effects of pollutants, some illustrative examples of pollution problems and a final summary discussion, complete the book.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA classic proven by its second edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStill the only book to properly integrate ecological principles with chemistry\/biochemistry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocuses on the interaction between ecology and toxicology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for use by toxicologists with no ecology training, and for ecologists with no toxicology training\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is a new chapter on pollutants in habitats and global warming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070973067504,"sku":"9780080924908","price":98.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780080924908_p0.jpg?v=1763638180","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780080924908","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
