Aquatic Health, Toxicology

The fate of most terrestrial pollutants is in aquatic environments. Pollutants are carried by water through the soil and in surface runoff to streams, rivers, lakes, and other wetlands where they collect in both the sediments and biota. The accumulation of toxicants can have major effects on the fitness of plants and animals. These toxicants also reach the human population in our water and food.
