PHC 6369

Industrial Toxicology

This course will focus on specific industries, industrial processes and the chemicals that workers may be potentially exposed to, and their impact on Public Health. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) division structure will be used to identify industries that have been studied by NIOSH or other agencies. For each industry identified, chemical hazards, exposure routes, toxicology effects, and monitoring methods will be discussed emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach in providing information aimed at reducing worker exposures to industrial toxicants.
