Ecotoxicology speciality section

Key information

Co-ordinators:   Dr Natalie Burden & Dr Paula Garcia

Get in touch:      ecotox@thebts.org

 

Ecotoxicology is the discipline concerned with determining effects of chemicals on biological organisms especially at the population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere levels.

Investigations are undertaken to prevent or remediate detrimental effects across different taxonomic groups, spanning plants, invertebrates, and vertebrate animals.

The Ecotoxicology Speciality Section represents members involved with, or interested in, basic ecotoxicology research, as well as applied ecotoxicology testing and assessment for regulatory/product registration purposes, crossing the boundaries of industry, government/regulatory bodies, and academic institutions.

This Speciality Section provides a UK-focused forum for networking, communication, collaboration, discussion, and professional representation both within the BTS and the wider (eco)toxicology community.
