Environmental Toxicology and Climate-Induced Hazards explores the intersection of toxicology and climate change, focusing on how climate-related events influence the distribution and toxicity of environmental pollutants. It covers scenarios such as increased flooding, wildfires, and temperature shifts that affect pollutant behavior and exposure risks. The book emphasizes the need for adaptive toxicological assessments and mitigation strategies to address climate-induced toxic hazards. Ideal for environmental toxicologists and climate scientists, it promotes comprehensive approaches to managing toxic risks in a changing climate.
Ember Cross explores the interplay between environmental toxicology and climate-induced hazards, examining how climate change exacerbates the distribution and toxicity of pollutants. Her research investigates the effects of extreme weather events, such as floods and wildfires, on the mobilization and release of toxic chemicals into the environment. Ember has developed models to predict the environmental and health impacts of climate-related toxic exposures. She has published extensively on the strategies to mitigate the compounded risks of climate change and environmental toxicity. As an editor, Ember offers guidelines for integrating climate projections with toxicological studies, promoting resilience and protection against climate-induced toxic hazards through informed environmental health practices.
