PMO 549 Principles of Toxicology
This course examines basic concepts of occupational and environmental toxicology, including absorption, distribution, metabolic conversion, and elimination of xenobiotics, as well as mechanisms of toxicity and the interaction of xenobiotic agents with human organ systems. The course focuses on the application of these concepts to the assessment of exposures, estimates for risk of disease, development of appropriate exposure limits, and prevention of morbidity and mortality resulting from toxic environmental exposures.
