Evolution

Definition of Evolution as it relates to Science, Environmental Science, Toxicology

Evolution in the context of toxicology refers to the study of how genetic changes and natural selection shape the development, distribution, and impact of toxic substances in biological populations over time. It explores how organisms adapt to the presence of harmful chemicals, as well as the ecological consequences of these adaptations. By understanding evolutionary processes, researchers can better predict the long-term effects of toxic substances on ecosystems, inform risk assessment strategies, and develop targeted interventions for pollution control and environmental conservation.
