3.00 Credits
A course to integrate biology and chemistry into a useful approach to poisons and pollutants and their control. Methods are developed to express and measure toxicity, predict risks, and illustrate how laws and regulations are developed to communicate risks and control hazards. The students will learn to express the complex mechanics of statistics and to reduce armacodynamics to simple graphics representations. Lectures, demonstrations, laboratories, and weekend field trips. Offered in alternate years.Prerequisites: CHEM 101, CHEM 102, NTRS 205.Credit, three hours.
