Course Description :
Emphasis will be placed on potential adverse health
effects of human exposure to environmental hazards. This course, which is an integration
of science and policy, covers the fundamental basis of the risk assessment and management
process which starts from identification of hazard, assessment methods, the inherent
uncertainties in each step and the relationship between risk assessment and risk management,
and the need for open, transparent and participatory acceptance procedures and credible
communication methods. The course also teaches the practical application of risk assessment
methods to various problems, e.g. hazardous waste sites release. The application of
environmental impact assessment procedures for identifying and assessing risk is also
covered in the course.
