Pharmacy Course Descriptions Appendix PHAR-6231 Exotoxicology –Sp 2 hours This course explores the current understanding related to different interactions of substances and chemicals in environmental systems and subsystems on their bioavailability, circulation, and assimilation in target organisms as well as their physiological and pathophysiological responses. In addition, this course will examine the mechanisms and processes by which chemicals exert their effects on ecosystems and their ultimate impact on the populations or communities.
