摘要

This book outlines organometallic compounds (OMCs) in the marine environment, focusing on their analytical and ecological aspects. Divided into 6 chapters, the authors discuss OMCs' occurrence, chemical structure, and environmental impact of OMCs in aquatic systems. In this book, readers will also find critical insights into the sources and effects of OMCs on marine ecosystems, with detailed discussions on extraction methodologies, stability, and speciation analysis. The book highlights advanced analytical techniques such as gas chromatography and atomic absorption spectrometry, providing a thorough understanding of the latest approaches for evaluating OMC levels in marine environments.

Particular attention is given to the fate and behaviour of OMCs in various environmental compartments, their ecotoxicology, and molecular modelling studies describing toxicity mechanisms. The book also addresses global distribution patterns with a focus on hotspots and evaluates joint efforts for prevention and sustainability.

This volume is indispensable for researchers in marine chemistry, postgraduate students, industry scientists working on environmental pollutants, ecologists studying marine ecosystems, and policymakers involved in environmental protection. It invites readers to think critically about sustainable development goals related to clean water (SDG 6) and life below water (SDG 14), emphasizing the need for continued research to mitigate the impact of hazardous materials like OMCs, and for policy development.
