Course description
This course will provide an introduction in the basic principles of Environmental Health as an interdisciplinary science, and its application in specific cases of risk evaluation and assessment. One Health recognises that health of people is connected to the health of animals and the environment and vice versa. In this course, we will mainly focus on the assessment of environmental exposures, and how to evaluate the influence of environmental exposures on human health. This will include, but will not be limited to, examples of how animals influence environmental exposures relevant for human health.
