Oceanic Acidification

Focusing on oceanic acidification, the book provides a comprehensive review of its historical context, examining pH and atmospheric CO2 levels over time. It explores both natural and human-induced CO2 sources, along with the chemical, physical, and biological impacts on marine life, supported by laboratory and field studies. Additionally, it discusses various mitigation strategies, both technical and political. Authored by Dr. Ronald Eisler, an expert in chemical risk assessment, the work highlights the real and projected consequences of this environmental issue.
