This course is a survey of the major issues in contemporary environmental health. Topics include environmental health hazards associated with human settlement, industrial activities, and agriculture and the food supply, including approaches to assessing, controlling, and preventing these hazards. Although the course is addressed to non-scientists, it seeks to provide some insight into the scientific underpinnings of current debates. This core course does not carry concentration credit; Environmental Health concentrators must take the concentration core course, EH765 to meet the MPH core requirrement. Non-Environmental Health concentrators may choose between this course and EH765, which is a more technical course. Students who successfully complete this course and then wish to change to or add the environmental health concentration are able to fulfill the EH core course requirement by registering for an additional 2 credits. Contact the EH department for specifics.
