BIOL 333 (1/2 unit) Powell This course
examines the effects of chemical contaminants on molecular, organism,
and ecological systems. Topics include sources and movement of
contaminants in the environment, basics of toxicity testing, mechanisms of
contaminant effects, and ecological risk assessment. The course will use
readings from standard texts, the popular press, and primary literature,
placing particular emphasis on current experimental approaches and problem
