Course Description: This course presents an overview of the study of how chemicals affect the human body. It reviews the history of the field from ancient times when poisons were used to change the leadership of empires, to modern times when they have been used in clandestine operations. Some basic concepts related to poisons are studied, such as the premise that the "ose makes the poison" and that all chemicals are toxic depending upon the extent of exposure. Students are introduced to major classes of toxic materials. Other topics include poisons in natural food and in the natural world, how chemical exposure is reulated by governmental laws, and indoor chemicals that can affect health. 3.000 Credit Hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture, Tutorial, Online Course Dyson College Arts & Sciences College Biology and Health Science Department Course Attributes: Inquiry and Exploration

Pre-requisite: BIO 102. 3 lecture hours per week. Course Description: This course provides an introduction to the basic concepts of environmental biology, chemistry and physics as they relate to an understanding of the sources of pollutants, both natural and those generated by human activities, their transport, fate, and levels in environmental media, namely air, water, soil, and food. Principles involved in processes such as chemical cycling within the living world, global weather patterns, and atmospheric energy balances will be addressed as they relate to these concepts. Hazard recognition and control are also discussed in terms of toxicology, epidemiology, exposure assessment, and risk assessment.

Course Description: This course is an issue and project based science course. Small and large-group discussions of issues that impact human biology and/or learning from the practical, theoretical and political standpoints will be the focus. It emphasizes the interdependence of human, plant and animal biology and the environment. This course will function as a seminar and hands-on laboratory workshop - with assighed readings from journals, periodicals and the internet. Students will be expected to choose an issue to further research and present their findings as a poster board and/or class presentation. 0.000 OR 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 OR 4.000 Lecture hours 0.000 Lab hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Independent Study, Laboratory, Lecture, Tutorial, Online Course Dyson College Arts & Sciences College Biology and Health Science Department Course Attributes: Foundation Course, Inquiry and Exploration
