Comprehensive overview of dioxin threats to wildlife and ecosystems
This synoptic review explains how polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, especially 2,3,7,8-TCDD, enter the environment and affect fish, birds, and mammals. It outlines the range of ecological and toxicological effects and discusses why these compounds persist and accumulate in the environment.
This edition summarizes what is known about sources, exposure routes, and the potential risks to sensitive wildlife and aquatic life. It also highlights gaps in data and provides recommendations aimed at protecting wildlife and their habitats from dioxin contamination.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a thorough review of the environmental chemistry, ecological and toxicological aspects of polychlorinated dibenzo para-dioxins (PCDOs). It specifically focuses on the impact of these compounds on fish, wildlife, and invertebrates. The author delves into the sources, environmental fate, and toxicological effects of PCDDs, examining their persistence, bioaccumulation, and potential for causing adverse health outcomes in aquatic and terrestrial organisms. The book also discusses the current understanding of the mechanisms of toxicity of PCDDs and their interaction with other environmental contaminants. It highlights the need for further research to elucidate the long -term effects of PCDDs on ecosystems and human health and emphasizes the importance of developing effective strategies to mitigate their environmental impact. This book is a valuable resource for scientists, environmentalists, policymakers, and anyone interested in the ecological and toxicological implications of PCDDs in the environment. It contributes to the ongoing efforts to understand and address the challenges posed by these persistent and potentially harmful compounds.
