The UT One Health Initiative is pleased to host an interdisciplinary working group dedicated to understanding the complex world of environmental contaminants and toxicology. This group brings together experts from diverse fields to address the pressing challenges posed by pollutants in our air, water, and soil.
- ​Environmental Science: Specialists in this area investigate the presence and distribution of contaminants in various ecosystems.
- Toxicology: Experts focus on the effects of these contaminants on living organisms, including humans, wildlife, and plants.
- Chemistry & Biochemistry: Researchers analyze the chemical nature and reactions of toxic substances to understand their impact.
- Public Health & Epidemiology: Professionals assess population-level health implications related to environmental exposures.
- Engineering & Technology: Innovators develop tools for detecting, monitoring, and remedying environmental pollutants.
- Law & Policy: Scholars explore regulatory frameworks governing contaminant management.
- And many others!
By working across disciplines, we aim to uncover new insights, foster groundbreaking research, and create tangible solutions for reducing health risks related to environmental contaminants and toxicology.
We believe in the power of collaboration and the importance of staying informed about the broader community. Below you’ll find links to leaders in the field of environmental contamination and toxicology research.
