Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry

Advanced Environmental Toxicology

This track focuses on the fundamental and advanced principles of toxicology related to environmental contaminants and their effects on living systems. It explores dose–response relationships, mechanisms of toxicity, and biochemical and molecular pathways involved in toxic responses. Special attention is given to chronic exposure effects, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification in food chains. The track also covers organ-specific toxicity, including neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and reproductive toxicity caused by environmental pollutants. Researchers will discuss experimental models, biomarkers of exposure and effect, and modern toxicological testing methods used in environmental health studies. The aim is to improve understanding of how pollutants interact with biological systems and to support the development of safer environmental practices and regulatory standards.
