Session 4: Environmental and Eco Toxicology
Session 4: Environmental and Eco Toxicology
The European Centre for Ecotoxicology and Toxicology of
Chemicals (ECETOC) give a detailed perspective on environmental toxicology, a
life science discipline that seeks to understand how chemicals, both natural
and man-made, can interact with environmental species and human physiology to
cause harm
Toxicology, a
life science discipline, seeks to understand how chemicals, both natural and
man-made can interact with environmental species and human physiology to cause
harm. The art of toxicology has been known since the time of Socrates who was
executed in 399BC using hemlock; a poison that acts slowly.
Toxicology as a science matured from this time with notable
figures, such as Paracelsus and came of age after the thalidomide catastrophe
of the early 1960s (human) and the discovery of the adverse effects of
chemicals such as the insecticide DDT (environment). These adverse events
directly led to the methods and supporting international legislation that now underpins
the risk assessment of chemicals (in the widest context including drugs) on
both human and environmental health. In counterbalance to chemical risk, it
must be recognised that chemical use has brought substantial benefit to
society.
