Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
The objective of this lecture is to learn the theoretical basis and analytical methods of the environmental behavior and risk analysis of trace toxic chemicals.
Also, the basic physics chemistry for water environmental science is learned. |
| Class Schedule |
1 What is "risk"?
2. Risk of chemicals on human
2.1 Hazards of chemicals on human bodies
2.2 Dose-response analysis
3. Environmental behaviors and human exposure of chemicals
3.1 Emission and dispersion to air, water, and soil environments
3.2 Basic processes in environments
(1) Solid-liquid-gas partition
(2) Biological decomposition
