Credits:
2
The Environmental Health course is designed to give students a wide range of knowledge on the basic principles of Environmental Health. It focuses on pathways of exposure from the work area to non-working populations, measurements of exposure and observation of effects, modeling and prediction of effects. Identifying, assessing and adapting existing data to predict effects, given new exposures, is a major theme. Spatial analysis, risk communication and disaster response are also covered. Methods are derived from toxicology and epidemiology.
