Objectives of the Course

In this course, the most recent environmental chemistry, toxicology and ecological newest practices will be examined in detail by mentioning the importance and importance of ecotoxicology in modern environmental sciences

Course Content

The direct or indirect effects of the environmental pollution caused by environmental chemicals and agricultural practices in particular will be explained to the ecosystem individually and the molecular mechanisms of action will ultimately be determined. This derste will also talk about the relationship between various organisms and their habitats.
