Western Washington University - International Study Center (StudyGroup)

Environmental toxicology is a relatively new discipline that is rapidly evolving to include molecular sciences, advanced analytical techniques, large data, and consideration of linkages to societies. It is a multidisciplinary field focused on the impacts of chemicals in the environment on living organisms. In our emphasis, we also consider environmental and analytical chemistry, and environmental remediation.With the frequent development and technologies of chemicals such as pesticides and nanotechnology new discoveries such as the effects of microplastics and stormwater on marine and freshwater organisms established relationships between chemical exposure and effects to animals and ongoing interactions between toxicology, climate change, and other aspects of our changing environment, there is much to learn and help solve.
