&SLN=14311

Prerequisite: a minimum grade of 2.0 in BIOL 220; and a minimum grade of 2.0
in either CHEM 220, CHEM 224, CHEM 238, or CHEM 336.

 

COURSE DESCRIPTION 

This course will survey the most important concepts in toxicology, with a
focus on the impact of chemicals on human and environmental health. Topics
include principles underlying dose-response relationships, absorption,
distribution, metabolism and elimination, followed by lectures on specific
topics, including damage to major organs, cancer, birth defects,
occupational hazards, and risk assessment and government regulation of
environmental contaminants. 

 

COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES 

After completing this course, students should be able to: 

Understand the basics of toxicant absorption, distribution, metabolism and
excretion. 

Gain an appreciation for how environmental toxicants interact with cellular
pathways leading to the development of disease. 

Become comfortable critically evaluating, discussing, and presenting current
events relevant to the field of toxicology. 

Reflect on the relevance of the field of toxicology to you as a scientist
and as a proactive member of society
