*Not offered until Session 1, 2027* This specialised course examines how environmental contaminants cause harm, and the structured methods to estimate and manage that harm in real-world exposure scenarios. It covers toxicokinetics (toxicant absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion) and toxicodynamics (toxicant effects). You will learn how environmental toxicology complements epidemiology in providing risk-based evidence to inform safe exposure standards and risk communication, and is central to regulatory and policy frameworks used by agencies to protect public and environmental health.
