Description:

This course examines the nature of toxicants in the environment and the risk they pose to human health. Coverage includes: sources and regulation of toxic chemicals, chemical fate in the environment, routes of human exposure, toxicity testing, toxicity pathways in the body, individual, and population effects. Basic information is introduced through brief lectures and pre-class assignments. A majority of class time is spent working independently or in groups to integrate, interpret, and share current developments and information. Concurrent with class, students conduct an independent project where they identify an issue and contact appropriate individuals or facilities within the community to interview, tour, and observe. The course goal is to challenge advanced students to become fully responsible for their own learning and education in a rapidly-changing area that is both relevant to their major and applicable to their life.
