Ecotoxicity of Emerging Contaminants in Aquatic Birds: What We Know?
Summary
Researchers examine how aquatic birds are disproportionately exposed to emerging contaminants including microplastics, reviewing ecotoxicological evidence of physiological and reproductive harm in avian species and highlighting their potential role as sentinel indicators of ecosystem-wide pollution.
As emerging contaminants increasingly infiltrate aquatic ecosystems, aquatic birds are facing heightened risks due to exposure to a wide range of pollutants. This chapter provides a comprehensive examination of the ecotoxicological effects of microplastics,...
