environmental-toxicology

2 articles

Environmental toxicology examines how chemical, biological, and physical agents in the environment affect living organisms, including their uptake, accumulation, and physiological impact. In plant science, this field is essential for understanding how pollutants, heavy metals, pesticides, and other contaminants disrupt growth, metabolism, and reproduction in plants, which often serve as sensitive indicators of ecosystem health. This knowledge informs strategies for phytoremediation, agricultural safety, and protecting plant biodiversity in increasingly polluted environments.
