Marine Pollution: Sources, Fate and Effects of Pollutants in Coastal Ecosystems de Ricardo Beiras

Marine Pollution: Sources, Fate and Effects of Pollutants in Coastal Ecosystems

Autor Ricardo Beiras
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 iul 2018
Marine Pollution: Sources, Fate and Effects of Pollutants in Coastal Ecosystemsbring together the theoretical background on common and emerging marine pollutants and their effects on organisms (ecotoxicology). Written by a well-renowned expert in the field who is a researcher, teacher and advisor of national and international institutions on issues, such as oil spills, water quality assessment and plastic pollution, the book offers a thorough account of the effects (ecotoxicology) of pollutants on marine organisms and the public health implications, along with the biological tools advocated by the international institutions for marine pollution monitoring.
Marine Pollution: Sources, Fate and Effects of Pollutants in Coastal Ecosystems presents information in a rigorous and contrasted manner derived from a comprehensive review of solid scientific knowledge, but also illustrated with examples of practical applications.


  • Contains up-to-date background levels and regulations on marine pollutants
  • Conveys an in-depth analysis of the uptake, accumulation and fate of pollutants in the marine compartments
  • Delivers a critical appraisal on biological tools for the practical monitoring of coastal pollution
  • Includes a comprehensive glossary of technical terms and appendices with useful transversal information (units, acronyms, etc.)
