Toxicology and Risk Assessment: Examines the scientific and technical foundations associated with managing the risks of various human activities to individual organisms (including humans), as well as interactive, complex biological assemblages (populations, communities, ecosystems). Students critically evaluate the benefits of risk assessment and risk management approaches in balance with quantitative and qualitative uncertainties, inadequacies, and possibility of bias in practice. Practical examples of environmental management initiatives that are based on risk assessment are evaluated.
