Course description
In this subject fundamental concepts of ecotoxicology or environmental toxicology, sources of contamination and main contaminants in urban and natural ecosystems and the destination of the contaminants will be addressed: excretion, transport, transfer (absorption, adsorption, mineralization ...) with emphasis on the environmental impact on the receiving ecosystem. The toxicity of different types of chemical and biological contaminants will be shown, as well as toxicokinetics and bioavailability. It will be taught how to monitor chemical and biological contaminants (bioindicators). Finally, aspects related to bioremediation, ecotoxicological risk assessment, toxicity tests, public health and epidemiology of analysis of physical-chemical and microbiological parameters of environmental qualitywill be shown.
