Climate Change and Marine and Freshwater Toxins by Katja Antilla et al.
ISBN: 3110333597
Publication Date: 2015-09-25
This book compiles current evidence on the influence of climate change on the spreading of toxin producing species in aquatic systems. The chemistry and biology of toxin production is revised and an outlook on control and prevention of the toxin's impact on human and animal health is given.
Marine Toxins by Dominick Gray
ISBN: 1634844866
Publication Date: 2016-01-01
In areas where toxic algal blooms occur, the main affected organisms are shellfish, which, because of their high levels of filtration (clearance rate), accumulate high concentrations of nutrients and toxic phytoplankton in their visceral tissue. This accumulation of toxins in shellfish leads to a distribution of these toxins to their different non-visceral tissues.

ISBN: 1947083457
Publication Date: 2018-12-18
This book discusses the various types of treatment and transport of emerging contaminants, to provide a concise and useful overview for the graduate or professional students.
Climate Change and Mycotoxins by Luis M. Botana (Editor); Maria J. Sainz (Editor)
ISBN: 3110333627
Publication Date: 2015-08-15
This book compiles current evidence on the influence of climate change on mycotoxigenic fungi and mycotoxins in food crops pre- and postharvest and during storage of food and animal feed.
Inevitably Toxic by Brinda Sarathy (Editor); Vivien Hamilton (Editor); Janet Farrell Brodie (Editor)
ISBN: 0822945312
