Preface
Ecotoxicology is a vast and fast evolving transdisciplinary area of research, with
multiple intersections with the productive and governmental sectors. Although
several published books provide an in-depth coverage of Ecotoxicology, none of these
books cover the topic exhaustively due to its amplitude. Nonetheless, most of these
books are capable to transmit to an interested reader the “essence of Ecotoxicology”.
Likewise, this book does not attempt to provide an in-depth coverage of each of the
Ecotoxicology facets, of which there are many. Instead, we opted to provide readers
with a diverse array of practical questions faced and addressed on a daily basis by
ecotoxicologists from different parts of the world. In doing so, we hope to transmit
the same essence and to provide fresh perspectives on key issues of Ecotoxicology.
Our goal would not be fulfilled if we had not provided the authors of each chapter,
to whom we are deeply grateful, the freedom to express their personal points of
view. Finally, we strongly encourage each of you to read the seminal paper from
René Truhaut entitled “Ecotoxicology: Objectives, Principles and Perspectives”
(Ecotoxicol. Environ. Saf. 1977, 1: 151–173), which marks the formal establishment
of Ecotoxicology as an independent area of investigation.

Toxicology and Public Health?

Introduction
Anthropogenic activities are increasingly causing significant impacts on the
aquatic environment, leading to several changes in their ecological processes. The
relationship between the health of these environments, anthropogenic activities and
public health is already a consensus; however, the mechanisms involved are not
yet fully known due to their complexity (Andersen 1997, Fleming and Laws 2006,
Moura et al. 2011, NRC 1999).
Among the many important aspects concerning human health, aquatic
environment represents a significant source of water, biomass and oxygen production
and biological diversity, and the quality of these ecosystems is indispensable for
the maintenance of the planet and public health (Moura et al. 2011, NRC 1999,
Sandifer et al. 2004). Unfortunately, anthropogenic activities have led to several
negative impacts on these ecosystems, such as habitat destruction and the consequent
extinction of several species, changes in sedimentation rates, mobilization of different
contaminants (Andersen 1997), diseases in the human population due to chemical
pollutants (Bassil et al. 2007, Dhillon et al. 2008) and infectious agents present in
marine hosts, including bacterial, viral and protozoan agents (Santos et al. 2017),
with repercussions on socioeconomic and cultural activities and, finally, on public
health (Fleming and Laws 2006, PNUMA 2004).
