Overview
Environmental toxicology is the scientific study of how chemical, physical, and biological agents in the environment affect the health of humans, wildlife, and ecosystems. It investigates the sources, fate, and transport of toxic substances, the routes by which organisms are exposed, and the mechanisms through which exposure produces harmful effects, with the broader aim of predicting and managing risk. The field draws on chemistry, biology, and epidemiology to characterize dose-response relationships, identify vulnerable populations, and inform regulation and remediation. Assessing environmental exposure increasingly relies on advanced analytical approaches, as shown in "The Use of Metabolomic Tool in Assessing Environmental Exposure" (2021), which applies metabolomics to detect the biological signatures of exposure to environmental agents. The biological consequences of toxic contaminants are likewise studied in organisms used as sentinels of pollution, illustrated by "Effect of Hexavalent Chromium on the WBCs of the Fresh Water Fish, Labeo rohita" (2020), which examines how a toxic heavy metal alters the blood cells of a freshwater fish. Together these studies show how exposure is measured and how toxicants damage living systems. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to environmental toxicology, supporting researchers studying chemical exposure, ecotoxicology, and the health risks posed by environmental contaminants.
