Ecotoxicology & ecotoxicity
Ecotoxicology is a multidisciplinary field studying the adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms and ecosystems, integrating toxicology and ecology. It emerged in the 1970s following pollution events post-World War II, highlighting the impact of toxic substances on public health and the environment. Key concerns include everyday chemicals, pesticides, and their effects on organisms, communities, and ecosystems, emphasizing the need for ecotoxicity testing to mitigate environmental harm.
