Environmental Chemistry, Toxicology & Risk Assessment
About
With the Environmental Chemistry, Toxicology, and Risk Assessment concentration in our Master of Science in Environmental Science (MSES) program, you'll learn to examine the fate and transport of chemicals in the environment, including the health hazards and social impacts associated with chemical pollution.
You'll study the chemical, physical, and biological reactions of pollutants in the soil, water, and atmospheric systems. You'll also learn the effects of toxins in the environment and cutting-edge methods of regulating them.
You'll add training in environmental management and policy to ensure you can communicate your science to the public and policymakers. Finally, you'll learn how to analyze sensitivity and exposure information to quantify risks associated with environmental contaminants.
