To provide the basic elements for the knowledge and understanding of environmental / health relationships to prevent exposures to environmental hazards of chemical type.
Provide knowledge in order to gain the ability to organize in the field of community procedural identification process, estimation, assessment and risk management. Being able to differentiate on the basis of objective knowledge overall environmental risk and in which requirements must respond to define the environmental health risk.

Notions of: inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, toxicology and epidemiology.

Interactive lectures. Presentations in MS-Powerpoint format.

Exercise:
illustration of the DPSIR model with its practical exercise in order to specify the determinants, the pressures, the answers, the impacts and the state in which society responds to environmental problems.

The exam consists of a written test with multiple choice questions.

In order to reach the level of knowledge and skills that are sufficient, the student is asked to demonstrate:
Knowledge and understanding: gain knowledge related to the concepts of general hygiene. Learn about the determinants of health and major risk factors. Understanding health surveillance systems. Learn about environmental hygiene and industrial elements; learn about epidemiology and the basics of health management. Acquire the skills that lead to learning strategies of preventive medicine and health prevention.

Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: ability to apply the knowledge acquired during the course and to understand the concepts of health determinants and risk factors in the context of an interaction between man and his physical and social environment.

Autonomy of judgement: ability to understand and interpret statistical results of epidemiological studies, using a scientific approach.

Communication skills: ability to expose the concepts clearly, in both oral and written form, using an appropriate scientific language.

Learning skills: to acquire the ability to update themselves independently, by reading texts and scientific articles, also in English. Ability to use the knowledge gained to attend seminars and/or training courses on the subject.
