The environmental and occupational health track provides a bridge between the disciplines of biology, microbiology, chemistry, physics, and the behavioral sciences and the problems and issues addressing the prevention and control of environmentally provoked disease. Emphasis is on the development and application of a scientific approach to defining the health effects of exposure of individuals or populations to hazardous materials and risk assessment with social, economic, political, and engineering concerns to reach a decision. The environmental and occupational health track curriculum covers such topics as environmental exposure assessment; hazardous materials management; air, soil and water pollution; control of food and waterborne diseases; radiological health; risk communication; and occupational health hazards.
