Module 09 – Ecotoxicology
This module provides: an introduction to ecotoxicology, an overview of exposure and thresholds, an overview of the main concepts and scales of ecotoxicology, and some applications of ecotoxicology. Using these materials, students will learn: the history of ecotoxicology; why ecotoxicology is important to sustainability; effects on levels of biological organization; relations to hazard and risk assessment; relations to broader green chemistry concepts; and analysis and interpretation of ecotoxicology datasets. Multiple case studies and in-class activities are provided in the lecture slides, not in separate documents.
