Environmental Toxicology
Environmental toxicology is a multidisciplinary field dedicated to understanding the adverse effects of various chemical, physical, and biological agents on the environment and living organisms. By examining the interactions between pollutants and ecosystems, environmental toxicologists strive to assess risks, mitigate harm, and promote sustainable practices. This dynamic discipline integrates principles from toxicology, ecology, chemistry, and environmental science to address pressing issues such as pollution, habitat degradation, and biodiversity loss. Through rigorous research and analysis, environmental toxicology contributes valuable insights into the complex interplay between human activities and the natural world, informing policy decisions and fostering environmental stewardship.
