| Book Description | Environmental impact assessment studies conducted on coastal environments in many regions of the world confirm an increase in concentrations of many toxic elements, such as lead, cadmium, nickel, cobalt, mercury, zinc, and others, in sediments, seawater, and the skeletons of marine organisms. These high levels of pollutants have been attributed to the steady growth in construction on the sea coasts to keep pace with the increasing population growth on these coasts, as well as a result of the increasing backfilling of mangrove forests, sewage, oil pollutants, and others. This book is concerned with the pollution of marine environments with metals, oil and related chemicals, debris, sewage, industrial waste, and pesticides. It is also concerned with climate change, sea acidification, bioaccumulation, and treating the problem of marine pollution in general. The book was presented in a question-and-answer manner that covered what was on the mind of those thinking about the issue of sea pollution in an interesting way that did not cause boredom. |
