- Environmental toxicology is the study of the impacts of pollutants upon the structure and function of ecological systems. For the purposes of this text, the emphasis will be upon ecological structures, from the molecular to the individual organism to the community and the ecosystem. The broad scope of environmental toxicology requires a multidisciplinary approach of a variety of specialists. The purpose of this volume is to provide the background knowledge so that the short- and long-term effects of chemical pollution can be evaluated and the risks understood. There are 10 more chapters, each with a specific building block towards the understanding of the status of the field of environmental toxicology.
