課程概述

This course integrates both concepts and hands-on practices in environmental health studies, and it is designed into three learning stages. In Part I, students will be introduced to the purposes and processes of conducting environmental exposure assessment, including the use of available sampling tools to gather data for exposure monitoring. In Part II, special topics in water and air quality are used as case studies, along with hands-on experiments to analyze collected environmental samples. Students will also learn to conduct data analysis and interpret the results. Building on the previous two stages, Part III requires that students carry out an exposure assessment in a field case study and present their findings.

To sum up, this course covers the following fields in environmental health:
 An overview of global environmental health
 Essentials in Exposure Assessment
 Disaster management
 Occupational health
 Vector-borne diseases
 Air and water quality, and mosquito habitat investigation techniques
 A field trip to the occupational safety and health education center
 A field trip to an indigenous village for environmental investigation
 

課程目標
(1) Recognize basic concepts in environmental exposure assessment.
(2) Explain study design, environmental sampling methods, and data
analysis and interpretation, through lecture-based case studies and hands-on experiments in water and air quality studies.
(3) Apply the aforementioned knowledge and skills to conduct
exposure assessment on selected topic(s) and pollutant(s) in the field.

At the end of the course, the students are expected to
• Explain the effects of environmental factors on a population’s health
• Explain biological and genetic factors that affect a population’s health Apply monitoring and evaluation techniques to global health programs, policies, and outcomes
• Display critical self-reflection, cultural humility, and ongoing learning in global health
• Scrutinize and apply qualitative and quantitative methods to provide evidence-based solutions to global health problems considering cultural safety and diversity

 
課程要求
(1) In-class participation.
(2) Experiments in pollutant sampling and analysis.
(3) Literature review, study design, and conducting exposure assessment with selected topics for the group project.
