Aquatic Toxicology

Aquatic toxicology is the study of how chemicals and other pollutants may affect aquatic organisms and ecosystems. It is a multidisciplinary science that draws knowledge from various fields, including chemistry, biology, toxicology, ecology, and environmental science. Through careful monitoring, research, and laboratory studies, aquatic toxicologists evaluate the potential impacts of pollutants and develop strategies to mitigate or prevent environmental harm. Aquatic toxicology is essential for protecting and ensuring the health of our water ecosystems, as well as for preserving the health of the organisms that inhabit these systems.
