Ecotoxicological studies are conducted using various methodologies that can be classified into laboratory, field, and computational approaches. In laboratory studies, organisms are exposed to controlled concentrations of chemicals to observe their effects on growth, reproduction, and survival. Field studies, on the other hand, involve monitoring real-world ecosystems to assess the impact of pollutants in a natural setting. Computational models are used to predict potential impacts and to simulate scenarios that might be impractical to test in the field or laboratory.
