environmental toxicology  

Définition

  • Environmental toxicology refers to the poisoning of the environment either accidentally or deliberately, leading to the term ecotoxicology being coined by R. Truhart in 1969. The idea of poisoning an environment dates back to the ancient world with the much-highlighted story of the Romans sowing salt over the fields of their defeated enemy Carthage following the destruction of that city in 146 b.c.e.
