520 3# ‡aCollection of 23 articles presents overview of effects of environmental contaminants on marine mammals and examines methods and difficulties in assessing health risks and elucidating causal relationships between environmental contaminants and specific target organ toxicity. Highlights threats imposed by toxic substances with potential to seriously diminish marine mammal populations, and discusses possible role of environmental degradation in recent mass mortalities in marine mammals due to biotoxins from algal blooms. Assesses mounting evidence for adverse effects on reproduction and chemically-induced increased susceptibilty to death from infectious diseases. Includes environmental chemistry, mechanistic toxicology, and investigations of strandings and die-offs.
