- Environmental toxicology is the study of the health effects of low-level exposure of biological systems, particularly humans, to environmental toxins.
- It is a multidisciplinary subject, which draws together a number of medical and scientific disciplines.
- Environmental toxicology is a major component of provision of public health.
- We study these health effects within a framework of risk assessment.
- Risk assessment involves the identification of potential hazards, exposure to these hazards, dose-response assessment and risk evaluation to determine the plausibility and magnitude of risks posed by environmental agents.
