This course introduces the fundamental health impacts associated with environmental and occupational exposures. It focuses on the epidemiological methods used to identify and quantify these effects. You will explore the interaction between methodological challenges, such as accurately assessing environmental exposures and understanding specific disease processes, in determining the health consequences of environmental factors on populations. The course covers a range of environmental and occupational hazards, including water and air pollution, food contamination, ionizing radiation, persistent pollutants, and emerging environmental risks. Key methodological considerations for population studies, such as study design, exposure assessment, biomonitoring, analysis of disease clusters, dose-response relationships, assessing susceptibility, geographic analysis, and synthesizing evidence, will also be emphasized.
Curriculum
The course covers key health effects of environmental and occupational exposures and the epidemiological methods used to study them. It emphasizes the interplay of methodological issues, exposure assessment, and disease processes.
