Persistent Organic Pollutants in the Environment Origin and Role

Persistent Organic Pollutants in the Environment Origin and Role

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are toxic degradation resistant bio accumulative and display wide spatial distribution which has been linked to mutagenic reproductive and immunological disorders. In Stockholm Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are toxic degradation resistant bio-accumulative and display wide spatial distribution which has been linked to mutagenic reproductive and immunological disorders. At the Stockholm Convention a global treaty was signed to minimize and ultimately eliminate the release of POPs into the environment. The present compilation regarding POPs focusses on the sources atmospheric behavior terrestrial and aquatic food chain transfer human exposure and fate aspects of this important class of chemicals including topical issues like temporal trends in contamination. Furthermore the chemical characteristics of individual POPs are also addressed. Features: Provides better understanding of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and how they affect humans and ecosystems. Includes genesis categories environmental fate and behavior and associated hazards. Reviews analytical techniques involved in detection human exposure and management. Discusses environmental dynamics of POPs. Focuses on the comprehensive account of PCDD/Fs PCBs PAH and other organochlorine POPs such as DDT lindane and dieldrin. This book is aimed at researchers professionals and graduate students in Life Science Occupational Health and Safety Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering. | Persistent Organic Pollutants in the Environment Origin and Role

Biology and Evolution of the Mollusca Volume 1

Biology and Evolution of the Mollusca Volume 1

Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods) occurring in virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important a few are pests and some carry diseases while many non-marine molluscs are threatened by human impacts which have resulted in more extinctions than all tetrapod vertebrates combined. This book and its companion volume provide the first comprehensive account of the Mollusca in decades. Illustrated with hundreds of colour figures it reviews molluscan biology genomics anatomy physiology fossil history phylogeny and classification. This volume includes general chapters drawn from extensive and diverse literature on the anatomy and physiology of their structure movement reproduction feeding digestion excretion respiration nervous system and sense organs. Other chapters review the natural history (including ecology) of molluscs their interactions with humans and assess research on the group. Key features of both volumes: up to date treatment with an extensive bibliography;thoroughly examines the current understanding of molluscan anatomy physiology and development;reviews fossil history and phylogenetics;overviews ecology and economic values; andsummarises research activity and suggests future directions for investigation. Winston F Ponder was a Principal Research Scientist at The Australian Museum in Sydney where he is currently a Research Fellow. He has published extensively over the last 55 years on the systematics evolution biology and conservation of marine and freshwater molluscs as well as supervised post graduate students and run university courses. David R. Lindberg is former Chair of the Department of Integrative Biology Director of the Museum of Paleontology and Chair of the Berkeley Natural History Museums all at the University of California. He has conducted research on the evolutionary history of marine organisms and their habitats on the rocky shores of the Pacific Rim for more than 40 years. The numerous elegant and interpretive illustrations were produced by Juliet Ponder. | Biology and Evolution of the Mollusca Volume 1
