Environmental toxicology is a rapidly expanding area of environmental science concerned with understanding the adverse effects of chemicals, physical, and biological agents on living organisms. Organisms are continually exposed to and challenged by chemicals in our environment—compounds in air, water, soil, and food and finding scientifically sound answers to these very important questions is what toxicologists do: which chemicals are dangerous, what are their environmental and biological fates, how much exposure will cause harm, and what are the deleterious effects exposure to a particular chemical exposure? A Master’s degree in environmental toxicology can be challenging, stimulating, financially rewarding, and lead to an exciting professional career that contributes to the welfare of humans and the environment.
