Ecotoxicology response of freshwater organisms for anthropogenic pollution

An ecotoxicology research laboratory engages in diverse activities that address key questions about environmental health. Our Ecotox laboratory activities include:

1. Toxicity Testing - conducted to determine the lethal or sub-lethal effects of chemicals on various species. Common endpoints include:

   • Acute toxicity: Short-term exposure effects.

   • Chronic toxicity: Long-term effects on reproduction, growth, or survival.

2. Risk Assessment - Ecotoxicologists evaluate the likelihood and severity of harm caused by pollutants under real-world scenarios. This involves exposure modelling, dose-response assessments, and the derivation of safe concentration limits.

**Field Studies
**We complement lab-based experiments with field studies to monitor pollutant distribution and impacts in real ecosystems.
