Abstract

Aquatic ecosystems are facing mounting threats from chemical contaminants, resulting in detrimental effects on both the environment and human health. The interplay between ecology and toxicology is crucial for understanding the complex interactions between organisms and chemical pollutants in these ecosystems. This article provides a comprehensive overview of recent research on the ecological consequences of chemical contaminants and their toxicological implications in aquatic environments. We explore the pathways of contamination, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification, elucidating how these processes affect aquatic food webs and biodiversity. Additionally, we delve into the emerging methodologies and tools employed to assess the ecological risk and toxicity of various pollutants. Through a synthesis of cutting-edge studies, we highlight the importance of an integrated approach, combining ecological assessments and toxicological investigations, to safeguard the health and sustainability of aquatic ecosystems in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures. By understanding the intricate relationships between organisms and chemical pollutants, we can pave the way for informed conservation and management strategies to protect these invaluable ecosystems for generations to come.
