Using the theories and methods of life science to stude and explore the laws of enviromental science and using biological technologies associated with physical and chemical methods to resolve the enviromental problems, are the characters of this discipline in our school and the radiation-protection Institute of China. The enviromental protecting laboratory was founded in the early of 1960s in life science department. Based on this Enviromental science department was set up in 1985. What's more the studing Room of Enviromental Biological Toxicology, the Research room of Enviromental Biology and engineering, and the Institute of Enviromental Biology and Engineering was bullt. Up to now, in life science department the enviromental Science has been regarded as main studying direction in the studying and Research Rooms of Botany Zoology Toxicology Genetics, Biochemistry Microbiology Cytology Enviromental Biology and Engineering etc, we strive to create characteristic, make progress and solve the enviromental problems using theories combined with practice.
Enviromental science is a comprehensive discipline of multiple interrelated course.
Enviromental Biology like Enviromental Chemistry Enviromental, Engineering. Enviromental Geology, Enviromental Geography and Enviromental Oceanology etc. is an important part of this discipline. Therefore, using the theory and method of life science to study Enviromental science has a certain effect on disciplinary development in an all-round way and the improvement of disciplinary structure. Enviromental pollution have an serious effect on human health and capacity for physical labour, and are an important reason of cancer and malformation as well. Enviromental toxicology as a major researching direction of this discipline primarily study Enviromental pollution's biological effect and mechanism on organism, especially on human, providing a countermeasure to prevent and cure the harm of pollutant to human endemic disease and social effects of pollution etc. 2.
