Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology is designed as a self-study tool for undergraduate students. Questions review the origin, characterization and environmental distribution of major pollutants, followed by their absorption and metabolic disposition in living organisms. They address implications for the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary dysfunction and neurological conditions in relation to gaseous pollutants, particulates, persistent organic compounds and radioactive emissions, then cover the impact of pollutants on biodiversity, food safety, and water contamination. This book covers toxicology from human morbidity, ecological impact and biodiversity perspectives, and emphasizes the impact of diverse organic pollutants in worsening these interconnected phenomena, leading to wider environmental emergencies; Provides a selection of fill-in-the-gap, multiple choice and short answer question types for students to vary their learning and enhance motivation; Includes full answer rationales, allowing students to gain true insight into the subject.Providing support to programs across environmental science, ecology and human health, and covering all the major biological toxins and pollutants as well as unintended consequences of actions designed to improve outcomes, this book may be used in conjunction with the companion volume Introduction to Environmental Toxicology.

"Emerging Contaminants in Terrestrial and Aquatic Environments: Occurrence, Health Risks, and Mitigation provides the latest information on the synthesis of the occurrence, behavior, human health risks and mitigation of emerging contaminants in developing countries. First highlighting sources, industrial applications, key drivers and regulatory frameworks, the book then goes on to discuss the nature of emerging contaminants, including organic (e.g., pharmaceuticals), inorganic (e.g., rare earth elements) and biological agents (e.g., antimicrobial resistance). It then presents the dissemination, environmental behavior, and fate in terrestrial and aquatic systems as well as the human and ecological exposure pathways, health risks, and more."--

This detailed volume examines the complex study of the assessment of in situ bioavailability and toxicity of organic chemicals in aquatic systems with a toolbox of reliable techniques. Beginning with a section on approaches for chemical analytical and bioanalytical techniques in bioavailability research, the book continues with methods to monitor effects in situ and conduct bioassays to assess the effects of complex environmental samples. It concludes with descriptions of various computational models. Written for the Methods in Pharmacology and Toxicology series, chapters feature the kind of expert implementation advice that leads to greater success in the field. Authoritative and versatile, In Situ Bioavailability and Toxicity of Organic Chemicals in Aquatic Systems serves as an ideal guide to aid in tackling the challenge of analyzing and understanding chemical pollution in aquatic systems.

Dans un contexte d'accroissement de la vulnérabilité des êtres humains et des sociétés humaines face au dérèglement climatique et à l'effondrement de la biodiversité, il devient indispensable de mener une réflexion approfondie sur les liens complexes qu'entretiennent l'environnement et notre santé.Appréhender un sujet aussi multidimensionnel nécessite de s'ouvrir à différentes perspectives. En effet, si nous voulons apprendre à prendre soin et à soigner autrement, en tenant compte de ce que l'on nomme « l'interdépendance du vivant », nous devons prêter attention aux connaissances apportées par les sciences humaines et sociales, les sciences de l'environnement, les sciences de l'ingénierie ou encore les sciences de la santé.Ce livre écrit par quelque 70 autrices et auteurs d'horizons disciplinaires différents et revu indépendamment par plus de 30 expertes et experts est une invitation à aller voir au-delà de son propre champ professionnel. Il s'adresse à toutes les personnes soucieuses de trouver quelques clés de compréhension pour penser la santé dans l'environnement et entamer une nécessaire transformation socioécologique des services de santé.
