The course explores a range of current issues, including endocrine disrupters, pesticide safety, dioxins, sick building syndrome, lead poisoning, chemical allergies, air pollution, contaminants in drinking water, and hazardous waste. Discussions cover industrial chemicals, poisons, air pollutants, heavy metals, pesticides, genetic toxins, reproductive and developmental toxins, drugs, and cancer-causing agents. You examine the relationships between exposure, dose-response, and toxicity and their effects on human and environmental health. You learn how to research a chemical for health data and to evaluate and characterize the health hazard of a chemical, and you gain a working knowledge of how to conduct and utilize health risk assessments and exposure assessments. This course is designed for a broad audience of technical and nontechnical professionals who have responsibilities in health, the environment, and safety, or who are interested in learning more about toxics.
