This lecture note
covers most of the core aspects of environmental science, focusing on pollution
and waste management: air pollution, water pollution, and treatment and methods
of water treatment both as a theoretical background and real-life insights. This
includes oil contamination in both freshwater and marine waters, where a
discussion of effects and how to treat oil spills comes into play. A section on
Hazardous Waste discusses sources, disposal methods, and impact on the
environment. That's helpful for a student or environmental scientist interested
in discussing pollution problems but also possible solutions.
This note tackles the
very complex issue of the relationship between environmental chemicals and human
health. It explores epidemiological approaches to disease causation,
biostatistical methods for evaluating chemical exposure, and the effects of
chemical reactions within the body. The content covers risk assessment
techniques used in the U.S. for regulatory decision-making and public health
policy. It is a must for students in the fields of toxicology, environmental
health, and public health: it offers a challenging examination of interactions
between environmental chemicals and human biology and the approaches used to
evaluate and counteract their risks.
