History

Water bodies may be impacted by the activities taking place in their environment, leaving the organisms that inhabit exposed to different types of stressors (physical and / or chemical) which may cause effects of different kind and degree. The group Environmental Toxicology was created in 2012, with research lines that aim to determine the concentration, dynamics and effects of pollutants in marine and freshwater environments, and its impact through the evaluation of biomarkers of environmental stress.

Also, researchers in this group are responsible for the course Ecotoxicology, of the collage career in Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Biochemistry from the University of Mar del Plata. In this way, teaching tasks are carried out, transmitting knowledge and experience to the students.
