Contamination of Marine Ecosystems in Polar Regions: Basics and Applications provides an illustrative account of ecology and ecotoxicology of the Arctic and Antarctic Regions, both suffering from multiple stresses with environmental consequences for the marine ecosystems. This book is based on the author’s lectures and research over the past more than 30 years and guides the reader through the emerging problems of the contamination in broad, topical ecological perspectives. The topics discussed include the fate of persistent organic pollutants in marine trophic webs, the human impacts and related consequences, the effects of global changes on the contaminant distribution, and case studies are presented.

Simonetta Corsolini is a marine biologist with a PhD in Environmental Biology; she is a researcher and teaches Ecotoxicology of Remote Regions and Marine Ecology at the Department of Physical, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Siena, Italy. She has studied Antarctic marine organisms since 1992 and has participated in expeditions of the Italian National Programme of Research in Antarctica (PNRA) since 1994. In 2002 she joined the international TUNU Programme led by the University of Tromsø (Norway), and since 2010 she has regularly participated in expeditions to NE Greenland.
