Public Health 390CE - Controversies in Envir Health

Environmental Health Science is an interdisciplinary field that uses tools from biology, chemistry, physics and epidemiology to understand how environmental factors influence human and animal health. Although this field is grounded in science, many extra-scientific factors play a role in how environmental health science is perceived by the public, regulatory agencies, and other science disciplines. In this class, students will examine controversies in Environmental Health Sciences and discuss these topics after completing focused readings.
