Ecotoxicology | Assessing Pollutant Impacts on Ecosystems and Biodiversity

About

Ecotoxicology is a multidisciplinary field that examines the interactions between chemical pollutants and biological systems, focusing on the effects of toxic substances on organisms, populations, and ecosystems. By integrating principles from ecology, toxicology, and environmental science, this field aims to understand how pollutants disrupt natural processes and compromise ecosystem health. Ecotoxicologists study the transport, transformation, and bioaccumulation of contaminants, providing insights into their long-term ecological impacts.

With applications in environmental monitoring, risk assessment, and pollution management, Ecotoxicology plays a critical role in mitigating the effects of human activity on the environment. This field informs regulatory frameworks and guides sustainable practices, addressing challenges such as industrial contamination, agricultural runoff, and emerging pollutants. Through cutting-edge research, Ecotoxicology contributes to preserving biodiversity, maintaining ecosystem stability, and protecting human and environmental health.
