This course will emphasize the principles and practices of human exposure sampling and analysis of contaminants in air, water and soil, as well as analysis of biological specimens (i.e. saliva, urine, exhaled air, blood) for markers of exposure. The course will focus on field sampling, and laboratory analytical instrumentation and methods. 

This course provides students with a practical, "hands-on" introduction to a variety of techniques applied to the study of living systems at the molecular level to address fundamental public health concerns.
