Environmental Toxicology Research

The Environmental Toxicology Concentration provides both didactic and research training on the fate and effects of pollutants in the environment. Research and training encompass both human and environmental health consequences of exposure to environmental contaminants. A multidisciplinary approach to research and training are emphasized, spanning such areas as the environmental fate of chemicals and chemical risk assessment.

Research interests of the Environmental Toxicology faculty cross several disciplines and include environmental fate of chemicals (environmental forensics, chemical speciation, sampling and analytical methods, bioavailability); effects and consequences of environmental contamination (endocrine toxicology, mechanistic toxicology, chemical carcinogenesis, biomarkers of exposure and effect, population-level consequences of chemical exposure); remediation (biodegradative mechanisms, cometabolism, phytoremediation); and risk assessment (environmental, wildlife populations, mitigating uncertainty).
