| Description: | Environmental Toxicology is a new and rapidly developing field concerned with the harmful effects of chemical, physical and biological agents on living organisms, including fish, plants, animals and humans. The Environmental Toxicologist draws on a variety of scientific disciplines to describe, measure, explain and predict the severity and frequency of adverse effects on living organisms due to environmental toxicant exposure. Environmental Toxicology uses a variety of techniques to study the impact of toxic agents on living organisms and provides powerful tools for assessing the risks associated with the presence of these agents. A Co-op option is available to MET students in which students complete two semesters of Co-op during their studies. Please note that suitable Co-op placements cannot be guaranteed. |
