    • English
    Marine Organic Pollutants in Polar Regions: An Ecological Perspective provides an illustrative account of ecology and ecotoxicology of the Arctic and Antarctic regions, both suffering from multiple stresses with environmental consequences for their 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 issues 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. Students at any university level, including professors, researchers, general readers, organizations and stakeholders, and the nonspecialist looking for an introduction to polar regions and their marine ecosystems will find this to be a valuable resource in understanding the effects of pollution in Antarctica and the Arctic.
