Environmental Toxicology, Minor College of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences

Environmental Toxicology explores the effects of toxicants (synthetic & naturally occurring) on the normal biochemical, cellular and physiological functioning of biological systems. The minor enhances your understanding of the fate and impact of chemicals in the environment and your appreciation of the complex responses of biological systems when challenged by them.
