Environmental Toxicology
Course Number:
AB_1020
Course Description:
The Environmental Toxicology course offers an introduction to the recognition, analysis and prediction of environmental and human health problems caused by potentially toxic chemicals. During the course, we will follow various chemicals along the source-to-outcome pathway (SOP), from their fate in the environment to their effects on individuals, populations, and communities. Emphasis lies on the relation between the physicochemical and toxicological properties of chemicals and the environmental and human health risks they pose. Throughout the course, you will learn about key aspects from environmental chemistry, toxicology and ecology. You will apply this knowledge in a risk assessment for your own ‘pet chemical’, using the computational methods and models that are typically used in risk assessment practice.
