Environmental Health & Justice [CourseID: 12194]

This course explores how environments--both natural and built--can negatively impact human health outcomes. We will examine major environmental health issues; exposures/causes as well as possible approaches or interventions for reducing associated disease burdens in developing and developed countries. The course also provides an introduction to the concept of environmental justice or notion that all communities, regardless of socioeconomic status, should bear an equal burden of environmental hazards.
