| Outline and Purpose of the Course | In this course, I lecture on methodologies for assessing the health effects of environmental factors. I will outline various environmental factors and introduce exposure assessment methods for each. I will introduce examples of analyzing the effects of environmental factors on health outcomes and give lectures on their characteristics. I will introduce a framework for assessing risk in a defined population based on the impact of environmental factors and consider case studies. Finally, I will introduce the actual risks and issues of risk management that implements risk evaluation results in our society. In the lecture, the students themselves will consider the case, and have opportunities for presentations and discussions. | |||
| Course Goals |
