Résumé
This new edition of the market leading textbook in marine pollution gives a clear, balanced account of the materials that are discharged into the sea, what happens to them when they get there, the effect they have on the marine environment, and the threats they present to human health. It is designed as an introductory textbook for marine scientists, but no particular background knowledge is demanded of the reader; it can also bc used by engineers, lawyers, economists, or environmentalists who need to be informed about the effects of materials which are deliberately or accidentally discharged into the sea.
This edition features a more user-friendly design, including summary boxes, to make the book even more accessible and memorable. This edition also features: many new diagrams, including eight new Schemes that present complex processes in visual form so that they are easy to understand and remember; international case histories and subject matter; a large number of up-dates throughout the book to reflect changes in the world and new discoveries since the last edition.
