EESC 273

Understanding the relationship between environment and health is a significant challenge for current and future generations. Environmental contaminants and a changing climate are a result of human interference in the natural processes and fluxes of elements in the planetary system and play key roles in the development of many common health problems. This course will explore many scientific aspects of the connections between human and planetary health. Cannot be used as a science credit by students in geoscience or Earth and environmental science streams. Three credits.
