Environmental Pharmacology

Environmental Pharmacology is a scientific field that studies the effects of chemicals on living organisms, including humans and animals, in the environment. It incorporates aspects from pharmacology, toxicology, health sciences and environmental sciences to develop an understanding of how the exposure to environmental chemicals can affect the health of living organisms. Study in this field can help to identify the sources of environmental pollutants, develop interventions to reduce exposure to pollutants, and measure the effectiveness of interventions. It can also help to design drugs to help humans and animals adapt to environmental changes.
