Marine Organic Micropollutants, 1st ed. 2016 A Case Study of the Sundarban Mangrove Wetland SpringerBriefs in Environmental Science Series

Couverture de l’ouvrage Marine Organic Micropollutants
The proposed book features a systematic and thorough treatment of the dominant persistent organic pollutants (POP's) encountered in the tropical marine environment of the Indian Sundarban mangrove wetlands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Chapters provide a comprehensive and realistic account of the world?s most hazardous organic compounds. Readers will discover a detailed account of the characteristics, potential point and non-point sources, analytical techniques and the ecotoxicological relevance of selected POPs, namely organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated phenyls (PCBs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These pollutants are of considerable interest because their exposure could cause immunologic, teratogenic and neurological problems in humans and other living beings. The book is intended to serve as a reliable and up-to-date reference source for students, teachers and researchers engaged in the field of chemical oceanography, ecotoxicology and pollution management. 

Introduction.- Characteristics features of the organic micropollutants.- Micropollutants in marine sediments.- Level of organochlorine pesticides (DDTs  and HCHs)  in sediments.- Factors affecting proper application of  Pesticides.- Level  of  PCBs  in sediments.- Level of PAHs  in sediments.- PAHs in core sediments in Sundarban mangrove wetland : A case study.- Accumulation of micropollutants in marine biota.- Ecotoxicological Concerns.- Conclusion and Recommendations.


Dr. Santosh Kumar Sarkar is a Professor in the Department of Marine Science, University of Calcutta. His research interests lie in the fields of environmental geochemistry, coastal pollution and ecotoxicology.
