This is an introductory environmental health course examining population growth, environmentally-linked disease, and health concerns associated with toxic substances, food quality, air pollution, water pollution, noise, solid and hazardous waste, and pesticide use. Scientific topics will studied in a global context, and will be discussed in light of society, technological, and economic systems that impact our collective environment. Environmental issues and problems transcend geographical boundaries and academic disciplines. Therefore, students need to understand the social, economic, political issues that affect the quality and quantity of environmental resources upon which humankind depend. This course fulfills the requirements for Science, Technology and Society. It does this by examining how human activity influences the availability and quality of environmental resources and how these environmental factors influence human health at both the local and global scale.
