Epidemiology: ratios, proportions and rates, incidence and prevalence, cross-sectional, case control and longitudinal studies, relative risk and attributable risk
Environmental hygiene: water, air and waste
Deepening: Sexually transmitted diseases, Disinfection: disinfectant characteristics and activity levels - sterilization: physical and chemical methods, Predictable diseases with environmental remediation: orofecal transmission and food poisoning, Botulism - acute gastroenteritis
