| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
The main objective of the lectures is to understand the relationships between our health/diseases and environmental factors/pollutions both at local and global levels, which provides the fundamental basis for the sustainability of the planet Earth and human beings. 本講義の主目的は、地球および地域において、環境要因・汚染と健康、疾患の関係を理解し、持続可能な地球と人類の礎とすることにある。 |
|||
| Course Goals |
As the first step for the understanding of the relationships between our health/diseases and environmental factors/pollutions, the students learn about environmental epidemiology, environmental toxicology, and the health effects of metals and chemicals, which enables applications to the health effects of a variety of environmental factors/pollutions. 環境と健康、疾患の関係を理解するための第一歩として、環境疫学、環境毒性学、金属や化学物質の健康影響の基礎知識を習得する。これにより、種々の環境要因・汚染の健康影響について、応用することを可能とする。 |

| Schedule and Contents |
The order of lectures will be announced at the first class. Environmental epidemiology (1) Students will learn the basic concepts of epidemiology (Causation, Measures of health outcomes, Exposure, Measures of effect) Environmental epidemiology (2) Students will learn the basic concepts of epidemiology (Study design, Confounding, Bias) Environmental epidemiology (3) Student will learn how to apply epidemiological approaches to examine the association of an environmental factor with health outcomes in a case study Environmental toxicology（1） The students learn about the fundamentals of toxicology. Environmental toxicology（2） The students learn about the fundamentals of risk assessment. Health effects of metals The students learn about the health effects of some representative metals. Health effects of chemicals The students learn about the health effects of some representative chemicals. Feed Back Check the information on KULASIS and PandA as well as at the first class, since contents and teachers in charge might be changed this semester. Check the information on KULASIS and PandA as lessons might be held online. 以下の7回の講義と1回のFeed Back授業（全8回）を行う。順序は初回の講義で通知する。 環境疫学（1）疫学の基礎概念（因果関係、健康アウトカムの頻度の指標、曝露、関連の指標）について学ぶ 環境疫学（2）疫学の方法の基礎概念（研究デザイン、交絡、バイアス）について学ぶ 環境疫学（3）ケーススタディ（疫学的手法を用いて、ある環境因子への曝露と疾患発生との関連について検討する） 環境毒性学（1）毒性学の基礎について学ぶ 環境毒性学（2）リスクアセスメントの基礎について学ぶ 金属の健康影響 代表的な金属の健康影響について学ぶ 化学物質の健康影響 代表的な化学物質の健康影響について学ぶ Feed Back授業 担当教員、担当内容に変更がある場合は、KULASIS、PandA等とともに、最初の講義時に連絡する予定であるため、注意すること. また、オンラインで実施することがあるため、KULASIS、PandA等で確認すること. |

| Evaluation Methods and Policy |
Evaluated by class participation (including positive attendance and the assignment for each time) (70%) and the final report (30%). Assignment submission without class participation will not be accepted. Check the information on KULASIS and PandA as evaluation might be changed when the class will be held online. 平常点（積極性、各回の宿題を含む）（70％）と最終レポート（30％）により総合評価する。宿題のみの提出は出席として認めない。 オンラインで講義を実施する場合は変更がありうるので、KULASIS、PandA等で確認すること. Achievement level is assessed by GSGES's criteria. 到達目標について、地球環境学舎の成績評価基準に従って評価する。 |
