Environmental toxicology is a branch of toxicology that focuses on the study of how environmental contaminants, such as pollutants and chemicals, can impact living organisms and ecosystems. Researchers in this field study how these contaminants enter the environment, move through food chains, and affect the health and behavior of animals, plants, and humans. Environmental toxicologists often work to assess the potential risks of different pollutants and develop strategies to mitigate their impact on the environment and human health. This research area is important for understanding and addressing environmental issues such as pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change.
