Ecotoxicology and Ecosystem Response: Investigating the Influence of Chemical Contaminants
Author(s): Chen Carl*
The health and stability of our ecosystems are of utmost importance for the well-being of both human and non-human life on Earth. Unfortunately,
human activities have led to the introduction of various chemical contaminants into the environment, which can have detrimental effects on the
delicate balance of ecosystems. The field of ecotoxicology aims to understand the influence of these chemical contaminants on ecological systems
and to assess their potential risks. Ecotoxicology is a multidisciplinary science that combines elements of ecology, toxicology, chemistry and
environmental science. It focuses on the study of the effects of toxic substances on organisms, populations, communities and ecosystems as a
whole. Chemical contaminants can include pesticides, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, industrial pollutants and many other substances that find
their way into.. Read More»
