CHEMICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RISK TO HUMAN HEALTH - Human Exposure Assessment Form to risk agents
Fundamental concepts (hazard, risk, exposure, prevention, protection)
- The risk assessment paradigm
- Quantitative approaches for human exposure assessment
- The Italian regulatory framework for the protection of human health and environment
- Chemical risk factors
- Dermal exposure assessment
- Chemical exposure modelling: basic principles
Physical risks (noise, ionizing and non-ionizing radiations, microclimate, vibrations)
- Biological risk
- Occupational risk management
- Environment and health (indoor air quality, urban air pollution, industrial emissions).
Fundamental concepts
- Hazard, risk, exposure and health effects
- Primary, secondary and tertiary prevention
- The risk assessment paradigm
- Quantitative approaches for human exposure assessment (environmental monitoring, biological monitoring, exposure modelling).
- The National regulatory framework for the protection of human health
Chemical risk
- classification of risk factors, exposure assessment for chemicals, occupational exposure limits and threshold limit values.
- dermal exposure assessment
- gases and vapours, aerosols and fibres (asbestos)
- basic principles of sampling
- chemical exposure modelling: basic principles
Physical risk
- noise, ionizing and non-ionizing radiations, microclimate, vibrations
Biological risk.
Occupational risk management.
Environment and health, focus on:
- Indoor air quality (IAQ).
- Atmospheric pollution: impacts on human health.
- Industrial air emissions.
Frontal lectures (slides in Italian) and use of the videoconference technology. Some relevant issues can be specifically discussed, possibly using the e-learning platform.
Students can ask for clarifications after each lesson. The lecturer is available by appointment (to be contacted by e-mail). The Office is located at the -1 floor, Via Valleggio 11, Como.
