The book is an attempt to address important facts and figures related to threats and risks posed by four pollutants on birds and mammals across the globe (covering Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America). The book has thirteen chapters: Chapter 1. Wildlife and Pollution; Chapter 2. Heavy metal (Hg) impacts on terrestrial and inland birds; Chapter 3. Heavy metal (Hg) impacts on coastal and marine birds; Chapter 4. Pesticide (DDT) impacts on terrestrial and inland birds; Chapter 5. Pesticide (DDT) impacts on coastal and marine birds; Chapter 6. Plastic impacts on coastal and marine birds; Chapter 7. Climate change impacts on terrestrial and aquatic birds; Chapter 8. Heavy metal (Hg) impacts on terrestrial mammals; Chapter 9. Heavy metal (Hg) impacts on estuarine and marine mammals; Chapter 10. Pesticide (DDT) impacts on terrestrial mammals; Chapter 11. Pesticide (DDT) impacts on estuarine and marine mammals; Chapter 12. Plastic impacts on estuarine and marine mammals and Chapter 13. Climate change impacts on estuarine and marine mammals.
This book has been structured as a combination of research, text, reference, and extension book and written in simple and plain English to benefit a wide range of technical and non-technical readers worldwide. It contains the latest, authentic, and evidence-based data and information on pollution impacts on wildlife. This book would benefit academic and research institutes, university research students, wildlife biologists, pollution chemists, ecotoxicologists, environmental scientists, government planners, regulators, and environmental campaigners.
