The field of science that focuses on the harmful effects of diverse physical and biological agents on living organisms is called environmental toxicology. There are many sources that can lead to the presence of environmental toxicants. These include pesticides, organic and inorganic pollutants. Other sources comprises of heavy metals like arsenic lead, and cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins. Ecotoxicology is the branch of environmental toxicology which studies harmful effects of toxins on ecosystem and population. Aquatic toxicology is the multidisciplinary field that studies toxic effects of anthropogenic and natural activities on aquatic organisms and their ecosystem. This book attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the discipline of environmental toxicology and how such concepts have practical applications. The objective is to give a general view of the different areas of this field. This book, with its detailed analyzes and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels.

Oil Spill Environmental Forensics Case Studies
<p><i>Oil Spill Environmental Forensics Case Studies</i> includes 34 chapters that serve to present various aspects of environmental forensics in relation to "real-world" oil spill case studies from around the globe. Authors representing academic, government, and private researcher groups from 14 countries bring a diverse and global perspective to this volume.</p> <p><i>Oil Spill Environmental Forensics Case Studies</i> addresses releases of natural gas/methane, automotive gasoline and other petroleum fuels, lubricants, vegetable oils, paraffin waxes, bitumen, manufactured gas plant residues, urban runoff, and, of course, crude oil, the latter ranging from light Bakken shale oil to heavy Canadian oil sands oil. New challenges surrounding forensic investigations of stray gas in the shallow subsurface, volatiles in air, dissolved chemicals in water (including passive samplers), and biological tissues associated with oil spills are included, as are the effects and long-term oil weathering, long-term monitoring in urbanized and non-urbanized environments, fate and transport, forensic historical research, new analytical and chemical data processing and interpretation methods. </p>
