Impacts environment and human health

Present the phenomena that are responsible for the major natural and technological hazards. Provide an introduction to the different modelling approaches that are used to assess and quantify environmental impact.

Pollution: types and impacts (CM 8h)

1. Air pollution
2. Soil and water pollution
3. Acoustic waves and radiation

Human health and environmental risk assessment: epidemiology (CM 8h)

1. Environmental exposures and the risk of cancer
2. Known risks and perceived risks
3. Risk factors for cancer
4. Environmental factors and cancer risk
5. Geographic variations in cancer mortality
6. Cohort studies.

Design office (CM 14h): The use of modelling tools for the assessment of exposure to environmental pollution.
