TECH EXAM FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19 at 11:30 AM.
PLEASE MAKE TRAVEL PLANS ACCORDINGLY.
This
course is designed for health and safety professionals
with little or no background in toxicology.
Upon completion of the course, students will
be able to utilize basic principles of toxicology
such as dose response, exposure routes, thresholds,
hazard v. risk, as well as acute, subacute
and chronic characteristics of chemical exposure.
An overview of target organs, issues of carcinogenicity,
mutagenicity and reproductive effects will
be presented. Toxicity classifications, toxicity
of chemical classes and special topics of epidemiology,
risk assessment, indoor air quality, regulations
and relationships with legal, media and the
public will be summarized.
