环境毒理学是毒理学的一个分支,研究有毒物质通过广泛的媒介物,如被污染的空气、土壤、水、食物或工业原料等,产生的毒理效应。环境毒理学的研究包括毒物来源(自然或人为产生的)、环境的现状、发展和将来,以及动物、植物和人由于偶然的、事故的或不明的原因接触到这些有毒物质产生的效应。其目的在于判断环境污染物的来源,定量和定性研究这些污染物,了解包括 Environmental toxicology is a branch of toxicology that studies toxicological effects produced by toxic substances through a wide range of media, such as polluted air, soil, water, food or industrial raw materials. Environmental toxicology studies include the source of toxicants (naturally or artificially produced), the state of the environment, its development and future effects, as well as the effects of exposing animals, plants and people to these toxicants for incidental, accidental, or unidentified causes. The purpose is to determine the source of environmental pollutants, quantitative and qualitative study of these pollutants, understand including
