Marine and Wildlife Toxicology

Marine and Wildlife Toxicology examines how pollutants and harmful substances affect animals living in oceans, rivers, and ecosystems. In the context of Medical Toxicology, it focuses on understanding the impact these toxins can have not only on wildlife but also on human health, especially when we consume contaminated seafood or are exposed to environmental pollutants. This field studies the effects of various chemicals, such as heavy metals and pesticides, to ensure both wildlife and human populations remain safe and healthy by identifying risks and informing regulations.
