Environmental chemists and toxicologists are scientists who study the effects of chemicals on the environment and on human health. Environmental chemists focus on understanding the behavior and fate of chemical substances in the environment, including how they enter the environment, how they move through the environment, and how they interact with living organisms and ecosystems. Toxicologists, on the other hand, focus on the effects of chemicals on living organisms, including how they are absorbed, metabolized, and eliminated from the body, and how they can cause adverse health effects.
Environmental chemists and toxicologists may work in a variety of settings, including government agencies, academic institutions, and private companies. They use a variety of tools and techniques, such as laboratory analyses and field studies, to collect and analyze data on the behavior and effects of chemicals. Based on their findings, they may develop recommendations for regulatory policies, risk assessment strategies, or remediation approaches to protect human health and the environment
