In this course, students will explore the principles of toxicology from an environmental and occupational public health context. This course will emphasize an examination of the risks associated with exposure to various toxicants within both environmental and occupational settings, as well as the toxicology of major organ systems; the health effects of categories of toxins; and review of toxicological testing types. As a result of this course, students should be able to explain potential routes of exposure for various toxicants and measurement of adverse effects of exposure. Students will also be able to communicate toxicological characteristics to educate populations, change behavior, and drive social change.
