理学硕士-地球科学（化学和环境毒理学）

毒理学是对有毒物质对生命系统影响的研究。这些有毒物质可以是有机或无机，合成或天然材料。作为研究领域，它跨越了化学，生物学和环境科学等传统学科领域。环境毒理学进一步扩展到有毒物质的化学运输，命运，持久性和生物蓄积及其在人口和社区一级的影响等方面。渥太华大学和卡尔顿大学通过渥太华-卡尔顿生物研究所和渥太华-卡尔顿化学研究所的代表委员会的管理，提供了一个合作计划，从而获得了化学和环境毒理学专业的理学硕士学位或博士学位。和渥太华卡尔顿地球科学中心。
Toxicology is the study of the effects of toxic substances on living systems. These toxic substances can either be organic or inorganic and synthetic or natural materials. As a field of research, it crosses the traditional disciplinary boundaries of chemistry, biology and environmental sciences. Environmental toxicology further extends to aspects of chemical transport, fate, persistence and biological accumulation of toxic substances and their effects at the population and community levels. Carleton University and the University of Ottawa offer a Master of Science or PhD with a Specialization in Chemical and Environmental Toxicology through the management of a committee of representatives from the OttawaCarleton Institute for Biology, the Ottawa-Carleton Chemistry Institute and the Ottawa-Carleton Geoscience Centre.
