Anderson, N	Part of Term: S2 Date Range: 06/16/25-08/07/25 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Ecotoxicology and Human Health Section Info: 3 hours undergraduate, 3 hours graduate. This fully online, 8-week course explores toxicants in ecological systems and their impacts on human health. Students will examine the chemistry, behavior, and impacts of substances such as pesticides, heavy metals, and microplastics. Weekly case studies (e.g., the Flint water crisis and Deepwater Horizon spill) highlight real-world environmental disasters and their ecological, health, and regulatory implications. Assignments include researching toxicants, discussions, and writing a policy letter to a lawmaker. A semester-long individual project allows students to explore a chosen topic deeply, culminating in a final report or presentation. This course prepares students to address complex environmental and public health challenges.
