Ecotoxicology

In ecotoxicology the effects of chemicals and other stressors on the environment are studied. This includes the impact on terrestrial, aquatic and sediment organisms. Many chemicals related legislations require an environmental fate and hazard assessment, calling for expert knowledge in the field.
