TOXI 611 EXPOSURE, RISK AND PUBLIC HEALTH
This course focuses on the challenges in determining human health risks related to complex environmental problems. Beginning with a discussion of the principles of chemical risk assessment, this course examines how risk analysis is used in the development and implementation of regulatory policies to protect public health. Lectures address how to evaluate strengths and weaknesses of the risk assessment process, with an emphasis on characterizing exposure and evaluating toxicological data within the public health context. Case studies are used to demonstrate different approaches to these problems.
