528 CANCELED: Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes: Medical Geology Fundamentals
This course will illustrate how geoscientists can help biomedical/public health researchers and policy makers identify the causes of different environmental health issues and prevent their negative impacts on public health. The course begins with an overview of principles of epidemiology, toxicology, and geochemistry that can be used to evaluate exposures to environmental contaminants and the resultant effective doses. Subsequent lectures focus on dust and its interactions with pulmonary and gastric processes, and on water contaminants and their health effects, followed by presentations of case studies that illustrate how geologic materials and processes both positively and negatively impact human health.
