BIOL 4235

Environmental Toxicology

This course provides students with a working knowledge of environmental toxicology that includes (1) how toxicants are absorbed, distributed, biotransformed and excreted by the body, (2) the processes of chemical carcinogenesis, mutagenesis and teratogenesis, (3) dose-response relationships and methods for testing chemical toxicity, and (4) the effects of specific environmental toxicants (e.g., metals, pesticides, solvents, air and water pollutants).

BIOL 4235 is a core course for undergraduate ENSC-BIOL and ENSC-INDH majors and is an elective for BIOL, CHEM and other ENSC majors.  Completion of at least 12 hours of biology and chemistry is a prerequisite for this class; prior coursework in physiology and/or biochemistry is helpful. 

BIOL 4235 is offered every spring semester.
