What you’ll be able to do

  • Describe methods used to characterize risks associated with chemical toxins and microbial pathogens

  • Describe the contributions of exposure and potency/virulence to risk and calculate risks

  • List alternative routes of exposure and estimate the contribution of different sources to overall exposure

  • Explain how regulatory standards are derived from risk estimates

  • List the technologies that environmental engineers can design, build, and operate to limit exposure to a specified chemical toxin or microbial pathogen

  • Connect the topics of this course with their graduate research work
