Two days to acquire the toxicology basics needed for a health risk assessment: doses, exposure routes, reference values.

Key challenges

Toxicological reference values have different origins and definitions: choosing the wrong one skews the whole calculation.
The link between dose, duration and effect is not linear, which intuition does not anticipate.

Learning objectives

Acquire the fundamentals needed for a health or environmental risk assessment.
Conduct or contribute to an assessment within the applicable regulatory framework.

Detailed programme

1Scientific fundamentals (toxicology, environmental chemistry) used in the assessment.
2Health or environmental risk assessment methodology and associated regulatory framework.

Target audience

Environmental engineers, toxicologists and QHSE staff.

Prerequisites

Basic scientific knowledge recommended.

Learning methods

In-person training, scientific input and case study.

Learning assessment

Risk-assessment case study.

Scope of application
