Human health risk assessment is now playing a major role in the environmental management of chemicals, from both operational and regulatory perspectives. The quantitative assessment of potential health risk is now routine for chemicals in ambient air, indoor air, drinking water, commercial and country foods, soil, indoor dust, and innumerable consumer products (drugs, medical and dental devices and materials, pesticides, cosmetics, natural health products (nutraceuticals), tobacco products, nutritional supplements, building materials, paints, and coatings, etc.). This course will provide the knowledge necessary to conduct, evaluate, and interpret human exposure assessments of chemicals present in both natural and built environments.
