Couverture de l’ouvrage Marine Pollution

Marine Pollution: Sources, Fate and Effects of Pollutants in Coastal Ecosystems bring together the theoretical background on common and emerging marine pollutants and their effects on organisms (ecotoxicology). Written by a 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, this book offers a thorough account of the effects of pollutants on marine organisms, the relevant environmental regulations, 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 detailed and didactic manner, reviewing the latest scientific knowledge alongside examples of practical applications.

Part II. Marine Ecotoxicology10. Distribution of Pollutants in Marine Environment11. Bioaccumulation12. Biotransformation13. Theory and Practice of Toxicology: Toxicity Testing14. Sublethal Toxicity at the Level of Organism15. Effects of Pollution on Populations, Communities, and Ecosystems

Part III. Monitoring and Abatement of Marine Pollution16. Biological Tools for Monitoring: Biomarkers and Bioassays17. Marine Pollution Monitoring Programs18. Pollution Control: Focus on Emissions19. Pollution Control: Focus on Receiving Waters

Primary: Undergraduates with a background in marine sciences, first year PHD students and early career researchers seeking a specialization in environmental management.

Secondary: students of environmental sciences (undergraduates and master students) seeking theoretical backgrounds and applied knowledge on state of the art marine pollution science.

Public and private stakeholders involved in the management of marine environment, specifically theoretical background and applied knowledge on pollution prevention, monitoring, effects and abatement.

Dr. Ricardo Beiras is a full professor teaching Marine Pollution. His main research covers biological assessment of marine pollution, in which he is an international expert (+110 papers in SCI journals). In addition to teaching, Beiras is a frequent chairman in SETAC Europe meetings, a member of the panel of advisors for the Spanish call for proposals on accidental marine pollution, Spanish Advisor for the Prestige Commission of the Galician Parliament, advisor of IEO at ICES working groups and an Editor of Frontiers in Marine Sciences.
  • Provides 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 marine pollution
  • Presents key concepts and case studies to provide a comprehensive study of the different categories of marine pollution and its effects
