Ecotoxicology explores the toxic effects of chemical and biological stressors on ecosystems and wildlife populations. It covers the interactions between pollutants and various environmental components, assessing impacts on biodiversity, food webs, and ecosystem functions. The book emphasizes the application of ecotoxicological principles in environmental monitoring, risk assessment, and conservation efforts. Ideal for ecotoxicologists and environmental scientists, it advances the understanding of pollutant effects on ecological systems.
Landon Collier is an expert in ecotoxicology, studying the effects of toxic substances on ecosystems and wildlife populations. His research focuses on understanding how chemicals like pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and industrial pollutants disrupt ecological balance and harm various species. Landon has developed comprehensive models to assess the environmental impact of pollutants and predict their long-term effects on biodiversity. He has published extensively on the interactions between toxicants and ecological systems, highlighting the importance of protecting environmental health. As an editor, Landon offers guidelines for ecotoxicologists and environmental scientists to study and mitigate the effects of toxic substances, promoting sustainable ecosystems through informed toxicological assessments.
