Environmental toxicology is studied using a combination of field studies, laboratory experiments, and computational models. Techniques include:
Biomonitoring: Measuring the levels of toxicants in biological samples. Ecotoxicological assays: Testing the effects of toxicants on different organisms. Epidemiological studies: Investigating the patterns and causes of diseases in populations exposed to toxicants. Risk assessment: Evaluating the potential risks posed by exposure to toxicants. Molecular techniques: Studying the genetic and biochemical mechanisms underlying toxic effects.
