To understand the basic mechanism of chemicals inducing adverse health effects in man, and how to integrate this information into methods to determine the risk associate with exposure to chemicals. The key objective is to understand to live safely in a chemical world.
This course is part of the subject package 'Human Biology' for students at the master level.
Introduction to the general principle of toxicology, toxico-kinetics with the focus on susceptible populations. Another focus area is risk assessments - hazard identification, exposure assessment and risk characterisation. Methods for hazard identification, environmental epidemiology and experimental systems will be introduced. The role of chemicals in the development of major human diseases or health problems will be presented, cancer, reproduction, allergy and asthma with a strong emphasis on gene-environment interaction. Case studies on actual risk assessment cases will be discussed.
