Non-Traditional Terrestrial Species Models as Indicators of Environmental Pollutants

The potential impact of anthropogenic pollutants, such as agrochemicals, on the environment is a global concern. The increasing use of certain compounds can result in the contamination of food, water, and atmospheric systems. To combat this pollution, it is essential to accurately monitor the short and long-term effects of these pollutants.

This book focuses on the latest non-traditional terrestrial species models used as indicators of the toxic effects of environmental pollutants. These models enable understanding of the effects of pollutants in non-target species, thereby allowing for the analysis of the effects on ecosystems.

By using these non-traditional terrestrial species models, researchers and regulatory bodies can develop new biomarker species with high degrees of ecological relevance. This book serves as a valuable resource for regulatory and research toxicologists, particularly those interested in soil screening and the effects of pollutants on wildlife and insects, as well as their use as biological indicators.
