Training Program in Environmental Toxicology The training program emphasizes the two facets of toxicology: The status and methods used to evaluate toxicologic problems, such as evaluation of risk and development of tests for setting standards; and research approaches used to answer environmental questions. The focus in toxicology by the faculty is on the biological and molecular mechanisms involved in the response of the organism to environmental chemicals (heavy metals, pesticides, dioxin, and carcinogens) as well as the effect of the organism on the chemical (absorption, distribution, biotransformation and excretion.)
