| Course contents : | This course is the follow up of TOXI700-1. It is dedicated to a continuing effort to present, review and extend the fundamental tools implied in the risk assessment bearing. Risk assessment is envisaged under 4 different items: 1) the identification of danger (identification of toxics et search of databases in order to reach toxicity data); 2) identification of all exposure routes with quantification of daily doses by means of measurements performed in various environmental media and biological matrices and through computerized mathematical models; 3) search of reference doses of exposure (or calculation of transitory values) and 4) hazard index calculation for majority of toxic pollutants or cancer risk probability for genotoxic compounds. The difficult question of the mixture of toxics is approached. The class ends with the examination of some theoretical examples of risk assessment. | |||||
| ||||||
| Course objective : | The main objective is to continue the education in environmental toxicology by guiding the students to correctly use the numerous information resources and models implicated into the risk assessment calculations, a fundamental aspect and requirement to enhance life quality for all. The limitations of the different tools are also covered. | |||||
