It aims to introduce various fundamental principles of ecotoxicology to a broad readership and fill the gap in the field of ecotoxicology in China, where there is a lack of a systematic textbook. The book is divided into 15 chapters. Chapter 1 presents the basic concepts of ecotoxicology; Chapter 2 elaborates on major pollutants today and their cycles and fates in the biosphere; Chapters 3 to 12 discuss bioaccumulation and pollutant effects in detail, ordered by ecological structure from low to high. Chapters 13 and 14 cover environmental risk assessment, with some content related to management. Chapter 15 summarizes the entire book. Appendices 3, 4, and 5 summarize the main environmental laws and regulations in the United States, Europe, and China, respectively. The book also includes short essays written by experts to reinforce key concepts and provide representative case studies. The content is comprehensive and well-organized, making it suitable not only as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in environmental science but also as a reference for environmental professionals.
