AB Ecotoxicology  is  the  science  of  contaminants  in  the  biosphere  and  their  effects  on  constituents  of  the  biosphere  (Newman,  2015).  It  follows  from  this  definition  that  ecotoxicologists  examine  large-scale  ecological  phenomenon  (Preston,  2002)  in  addition  to  those  normally  addressed  in  toxicology:  ecotoxicology  has  an  overarching  goal  of  explaining  and  predicting  effect  or  exposure  phenomena  at  several  levels  of  biological  organization  (Fig.  30-1).  Essential  explanations  and  models  include  those  applied  in  conventional  toxicology  and  a  range  of  environmental  sciences.
