| Syllabus: | This unit outlines a conceptual framework for basic toxicology and related impacts on human health from environmental and occupational exposures, reveals mechanisms by which toxicants initiate pathological dysfunction or disease and introduces methods to identify toxicants and their adverse health effects associated with environmental and occupational exposures. Topics include toxicological terminology, basic principles of toxicology, toxicological testing methods, toxicity of common hazardous substances, adverse consequences to human health that result from environmental and occupational exposures and risk communication. |
