This open online textbook, "Environmental Toxicology," provides a comprehensive overview of the field, integrating environmental chemistry, ecotoxicology, toxicology, and risk assessment. It covers topics such as the history of environmental toxicology, various pollutant classes (metals, organic chemicals, plastics, nanomaterials), their fate and transport in environmental compartments (atmosphere, hydrosphere, soil, sediment), toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics, toxicity testing methods (in vitro and in vivo), and population/community/ecosystem ecotoxicology. The text also delves into risk assessment frameworks, regulatory approaches like REACH, and the importance of considering factors like mixtures, multistress, and genetic variation in toxicant metabolism. It emphasizes increasing ecological realism in testing and introduces concepts like Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs).
