"This textbook covers the fundamental concepts of environmental toxicology in an engaging and informative way. Taking the reader on a journey through the history of toxicology through emerging contaminants of concern this book, Basics of Ecotoxicology is an excellent resource for students and instructors."
—Vivian Dayeh, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
"Finally, a textbook geared toward underclassmen just beginning a study in environmental science or multiple majors related to ecotoxicology. The most readable and approachable textbook for budding ecotoxicologist. Overall, an excellent textbook as an introduction to ecotoxicology."
—Brian Dingmann, University of Minnesota Crookston, USA
"This book is perfect for students who start in the field of ecotoxicology, because it serves to refresh chemistry concepts that are necessary to understand the mechanisms that govern environmental pollutants on Earth; but at the same time goes deeper into some major topics that allow the reader to better understand the role of ecotoxicologists in our lives."
—Rafael Mateo, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Ciudad Real, Spain
"This is an ecotoxicology book that has been carefully constructed to serve general users, including non-science majors and beginning science majors as well as the general public. The text is clearly written for an easy basic understanding of the field of ecotoxicology. At the same time, the book provides a comprehensive introduction, including a basic review of the chemistry and terminology necessary for an understanding of ecotoxicology. The book offers an easy to understand preview to many of the topics found in more advanced ecotoxicology books, so that a student who decides to go further in the field can make an easy transition."
—David J Hoffman, USGS Scientist Emeritus, Beltsville, Maryland, USA
"With a suitable introduction to a comprehensive summary, each chapter individually and in a collated manner is highly suitable for undergraduates and postgraduates to understand the toxicology of the materials to the ecosystem, their risks, and the regulations to use them."
