This course presents an overview of environmental and occupational health. You will explore the relationships between human health and environmental contaminants that can impact disease and overall wellness. You will investigate how humans are exposed to contaminants through air, water, and food, as well as consider ways to reduce these exposures. Occupational safety and health will be introduced as well as control measures to keep workers safe. This course will draw on epidemiology and toxicology concepts to evaluate interventions to reduce exposures at different levels including behavior changes, engineering controls, and policy regulations.
