Course Objectives: | Define the major sources and types of environmental agents . Discuss the transport and fate of these agents in the environment. Identify the carriers or vectors that promote the transfer of these agents from the environment to the human. Describe how these agents interact with biological systems, and the mechanisms by which they exert adverse health effects. Explain and use models for prediction of the magnitude of adverse effects in biological systems. Identify and define the steps in the risk-assessment and risk-management processes. Describe the steps in the regulatory processÑin terms of risk assessment and risk managementÑand identify current legislation and regulation regarding environmental issues. Identify significant gaps in the current knowledge base concerning the health effects of environmental agents and identify areas of uncertainty in the risk-assessment process. |
Course Content: | Examines health issues, scientific understanding of causes, and possible future approaches to control of the major environmental health problems in industrialized and developing countries. Topics include how the body reacts to environmental pollutants; physical, chemical, and biological agents of environmental contamination; vectors for dissemination (air, water, soil); solid and hazardous waste; susceptible populations; biomarkers and risk analysis; the scientific basis for policy decisions; and emerging global environmental health problems. |
