Provides the basic principles of toxicology & industrial hygiene in the areas of safety and health
Program Overview:
This unique, 4-course certificate is specifically designed for students at the post-baccalaureate level in industrial or governmental settings. Program content provides a strong foundation in both toxicology and industrial hygiene to enhance the student's "on-the-job" performance in the areas of health and safety:
- Toxicology – the study of the adverse affects of chemicals foreign to the biological system. Evolving from the practices of ancient poisoners, modern toxicology encompasses the study of molecular biology, using toxicants as tools. It is an ever-expanding field, assimilating knowledge and techniques from branches of biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics.
- Industrial Hygiene – the science and art devoted to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of those environmental factors or stresses arising in or from the workplace that may cause sickness, impaired health and well-being or significant discomfort among workers or among citizens of the community.
