Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this course, the students will be able to  :

- explain the concepts of risk assessment and Health impact studies

- describe the different parts constituting a health impact study

- research in the literature the appropriate data to assess the risk associated with the exposure of the environment and humans to a toxic substance

- identify the most appropriate source to derive a a Reference Toxicology Dose
- Determine the RTV based on the INERIS method

Content of UE

1. Basic steps of the risk assessment ( characterization of the site, identification of hasards, dose-response relationship, evaluation of exposures, risk characterization)

2. Determination of RTV
