    Sorry, haven't taken the class but I remember seeing this online (I was thinking about taking it too)

    - Environmental Toxicology is a new and rapidly developing field is concerned with the harmful effects of chemical, physical and biological agents on living organisms, including fish, plants, animals and humans

    - Environmental Toxicologist draws on a variety of scientific disciplines to describe, measure, explain and predict the severity and frequency of adverse effects on living organisms due to environmental toxicant exposure.

    - Environmental Toxicology uses a variety of techniques to study the impact of toxic agents on living organisms and provides powerful tools for assessing the risks associated with the presence of these agents.
