Summary

This chapter reviews how chemical contamination from both natural and human-altered sources affects aquatic organism health and community structure, including how mining and industrial activities redistribute metals and organic compounds through ecosystems. The authors frame organism and community responses as key indicators of environmental health.

Abstract Many of the chemicals in the environment are naturally derived from compounds in plants, petroleum oils, or minerals in rocks. However, their chemical composition, concentration, and distribution through the environment have been altered by humans, usually as a result of an economic incentive (e.g., mining).
