Climate Change and Toxicology: Emerging Risks and Challenges explores the novel toxicological risks posed by climate change-induced environmental alterations. It covers how changes in temperature, precipitation, and extreme events affect the distribution, persistence, and toxicity of pollutants. The book emphasizes the need for adaptive toxicological assessments and mitigation strategies to address climate-related toxic risks. Ideal for toxicologists and climate change researchers, it promotes proactive approaches to managing emerging toxicological challenges.
Isla Christensen explores the emerging risks and challenges at the intersection of climate change and toxicology. Her research focuses on how shifting climate patterns influence the distribution, persistence, and toxicity of environmental pollutants. Isla has developed predictive models to assess the future impacts of climate change on chemical toxicity and exposure risks. She has published extensively on the need for adaptive toxicological frameworks to address the dynamic nature of pollutant behavior under changing climatic conditions. As an editor, Isla offers guidelines for integrating climate projections with toxicological studies, promoting proactive approaches to mitigate the compounded effects of climate change and environmental toxicity.
