The Fate of Stable Pollutants — Heavy Metals and Organochlorines — in Marine Organisms

  • Chapter
Advances in Comparative and Environmental Physiology

Part of the book series: Advances in Comparative and Environmental Physiology ((COMPARATIVE,volume 2))

Abstract

Ecotoxicology can be defined as the study of the contamination of ecosystems (i.e., input, concentration, distribution, and speciation of the pollutant in the ecosystem) by natural and artificial pollutants, their mechanisms of accumulation (i.e., uptake, elimination, and detoxification) and their effects on living organisms (see Ramade 1977; Ravera 1984; Bouquegneau et al. 1985 a).
