PREV 668 ENVIRONMENTAL AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
The class addresses the different components of the environment, the potential hazardous exposures and their implications, and the best practices to prevent and control them. Environmental exposures play a significant role in disease causation, particularly as risk factors for cancer, asthma, and other chronic diseases; and exposures in occupational settings are an important part
of environmental exposures. This course consists of didactic lectures, in-class discussions, student presentations, and visits to environmental and occupational sites.
