Master of Science [M.S] [Environmental Toxicology] From Clemson University

The research and training focus of the program is concentrated in three areas: fate of organic and inorganic contaminants, biochemical toxicology, and ecological and aquatic toxicology. A focus on interdisciplinary approaches and sound science is fundamental to our education and research activities.

A strong fundamental research program examines the mechanisms of how chemicals exert their toxicity and how variability in individual organisms can lead to sensitivity or resistance in a wide range of species. 

Methods developed from research studies provide the means for assessing chemical exposure and impact in the field. Field studies, used to document the status of potentially affected species, incorporate small mammal and avian habitat assessment, water and vegetation sampling, collection of invertebrates and aquatic organisms, and estuarine-marine habitat assessments.
