Description
Contamination of Marine Ecosystems in Polar Regions: Basics and Applications provides an illustrative account of ecology and ecotoxicology of the Arctic and Antarctic Regions, both suffering from multiple stresses with environmental consequences for the marine ecosystems. This book is based on the author's lectures and research over the past more than 30 years and guides the reader through the emerging problems of the contamination in broad, topical ecological perspectives. The topics discussed include the fate of persistent organic pollutants in marine trophic webs, the human impacts and related consequences, the effects of global changes on the contaminant distribution, and case studies are presented. - Features case studies, explaining how conclusions could and can be drawn, and how polar ecology can help to disentangle contaminant fate - Includes numerous photos of Polar regions and marine organisms captured by the author in the field - Presents definitions throughout the chapters including of e.g. bioaccumulation processes, persistent organic pollutants, persistent plastic materials, ontogenetic transfer
