Description:

This course provides an integrated set of tools to determine the quantitative relationship between human or ecological exposure to environmental toxicants and the probability of adverse health effects. Additionally, the primary methods for managing these risks, including human medical treatment, site remediation, or risk management strategies that use risk communication as a behavioral risk management tool are determined. Whenever possible, practical aspects of predicting and managing risk to human health to meet societal needs are assessed. Lecture material is intended as basic science material for homework assignments and exams, which are designed to apply the principles learned in class. Thus lecture material primarily presents the tools, while homework and exams apply them.
