Marine Pollution: The Environmental Toll of Oceanic Toxicology
Author(s): Amar Sharma*
Marine pollution poses a significant threat to oceanic ecosystems, with toxic substances causing widespread harm to marine life and habitats. This
study examines the various sources and types of pollutants, including heavy metals, plastics, and chemical contaminants, and their detrimental
effects on marine biodiversity and ecological processes. The accumulation of toxins in marine food webs and the resultant bioaccumulation and
biomagnification pose serious risks to both marine organisms and human health. Additionally, the degradation of crucial habitats such as coral
reefs and coastal regions further exacerbates the environmental impact. Mitigating the effects of oceanic toxicology requires comprehensive
pollution control measures, sustainable practices, and international collaboration. This paper aims to highlight the urgent need for addressing
marine polluti.. Read More»
