This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to and overview of key areas in environmental health. Using the perspectives of the population and community, the course will cover factors associated with the investigation and development of environmental health problems. Students will gain an understanding of the interaction of individuals and communities with the environment, the potential impact on human health of environmental agents, and specific application of concepts of environmental health. The course consists of lectures that cover principles derived from core environmental health disciplines. The sequence begins with background material and “tools of the trade” (environmental epidemiology, environmental toxicology, and environmental policy and regulation); agents of environmental diseases (e.g., microbial agents, ionizing and nonionizing radiation); and applications and domains of environmental health (e.g., water and air quality, food safety, waste disposal, and occupational health). The course then explores interactions with other domains, social determinants, sustainability, as well as career perspectives and applications within the field of public health. This course is offered online. 1 hour
