Systems Ecology An Introduction Howard T. Odum An integratedtheoretical and applied approach to systems ecology, usingdiagrammatic language to explain basic concepts of systems,modeling, and simulation. It presents simple and moderatecomplexity models as the ones of primary utility in theory andpractice; combines energetics and kinetics, rather than viewingthem separately; and generalizes concepts of ecosystems andeconomic systems, among its many vital features.

Environmental pollution is one of the most serious threats to the future health of our planet. A wide and ever increasing range of chemicals from industry, agriculture, medicine and a host of other sources continue to contribute to the earth's chemical load. Governments have encountered great difficulties responding to the crucial and immediate need for effective management. 
As a result, the new science of ecotoxicology has developed, which provides a broad conceptual framework for evaluating the effects of chemicals in natural ecosystems. This book is aimed principally at undergraduate students who have completed basic courses in both chemistry and biology. It takes a broad view of ecotoxicology starting with the nature, properties and behaviour of environmental toxicants, and extends to dose/response relationships and effects on organisms, populations, communities and ecosystems. Importantly, it also addresses environmental management areas such as biomarkers, biomonitoring, ecological risk assessment and the ecotoxicology and management of chemicals. The book provides an invaluable overview of the subject for students taking courses in ecotoxicology and environmental pollution, as well as wider degree programmes in biology, ecology, wildlife management, environmental science, environmental impact assessment, toxicology, pollution, chemical engineering, civil engineering, sanitation engineering and related subjects.

BIOACCUMULATION of XENOBIOTIC COMPOUNDS is one of the very few - if not only - books written exclusively related to this topic. This book comprehensively outlines the principles governing the accumulation of chemicals from the environment by organisms. Packed with tables and diagrams, this work reviews the experimental data available on both terrestrial and aquatic systems. It describes methods which are used to predict bioaccumulation of chemicals from their physicochemical properties. It also reviews environmental and other factors influencing bioaccumulation. This text also includes previously unpublished theoretical explanations of several bioaccumulation processes, including food chain biomagnification. Information in this exceptional volume is useful to government officials involved with environmental management, chemists, biologists, consultants working with chemical waste control, researchers, and graduate students.

"Pollution in Tropical Aquatic Systems" discusses the physical, biological, microbiological and chemical aspects of pollution in tropical aquatic systems. It draws together much of the available data and information on the effects of tropical pollution into a single, comprehensive text. The increasing research and management interest in tropical systems should make this book of interest to a wide variety of readers involved in pollution impact and control in coral reefs, mangrove systems, and other tropical aquatic habitats. It is aimed at researchers, government regulatory personnel, and consultants involved in aquatic pollution impact and control.

The Second Edition of Chemistry and Toxicology of Pollution is an update and major expansion, now covering the effects of chemical pollution on human health. The human health impacts of pollutants can be considered together with the ecosystem impacts, since the study of both have similar approaches. In addition, much can be gained by understanding the similarities and differences of the impact of pollutants on the natural environment and humans. This edition contains a comprehensive update of the content of the Chemistry and Ecotoxicology of Pollution, with the addition of integrated material on human toxicology, and new chapters covering topics relevant to current pollution issues such as global warming and climate change effects. Theory and practice within chapters are strongly supported by scientific literature that reflects the global and regional nature of pollution and ecological effects, with an emphasis on North America, UK, Europe, China, India and Australia.&nbsp; This major updated approach also covers recent advances in environmental science, monitoring and assessment of new and emerging pollutants, risk assessment, remediation and sustainable management of pollution effects on ecosystems and human health.

Basic Concepts of Environmental Chemistry, Second Edition provides a theoretical basis for the behavior and biological effects of natural chemical entities and contaminants in natural systems, concluding with a practical focus on risk assessment and the environmental management of chemicals. The text uses molecular properties such as polarity, water solubility, and vapor pressure as the starting point for understanding the environmental chemistry of various contaminants in soil, water, and the atmosphere. It explains biological processes such as respiration and photosynthesis and their relationship to greenhouse gases. The book then introduces environmental toxicology and describes the distribution, transport, and transformation of contaminants, including PCBs and dioxins, plastics, petroleum and aromatic hydrocarbons, soaps and detergents, and pesticides. The author highlights the relationship between specific chemical properties and their environmental and biological effects. Other topics discussed include partition behavior, fugacity, and genotoxicity, particularly involving carcinogens. 
The second edition updates the contents and incorporates the latest advances in the field since the 1997 edition was published. It presents an entirely new chapter on metals, which underlines the correlation between metallic properties and their behavior in the environment, as well as new sections on radionuclides and acid drainage water. The chapter on atmospheric chemistry and pollution has been substantially expanded including photochemical smog, the Greenhouse Effect, and pollution processes in the atmosphere and acid rain. The author also adds recent approaches to ecotoxicology, ecological, and human risk assessments to include the probabilistic approach. 
Basic Concepts of Environmental Chemistry, Second Edition is a practical textbook for teaching students the basic concepts of chemistry in the framework of the environment and a practical reference for anyone involved in the management and disposal of industrial chemicals and emissions, occupational health and safety, and the protection of the natural environment.
