Upon completion of the classroom sessions, Web-based sessions, and the related problem sets, learners will be better prepared to:
- summarize the composition and fate of organic and inorganic chemical matter in the environment.
- summarize the principles and application of environmental (including occupational) health science relative to identifying, evaluating and controlling contaminants and related human and animal exposures (i.e., One Health Approach).
- recognize the basic principles of toxicology as applied to fate of chemical contaminants in humans and animals.
- explain how the principles of environmental and occupational health apply to the outdoor and indoor and non-workplace and workplace settings
- apply the industrial hygiene (occupational health) principles of anticipation/recognition, evaluation and control of chemical air contaminants in workplace settings.
- describe the principles of industrial hygiene integrated air sampling for collection of chemical particulates, gases and vapors;
- calculate applicable values for concentrations and time-weighted averages (TWAs) for comparison to appropriate environmental and exposure standards and guidelines;
- outline industrial hygiene monitoring reports.
