Air Pollution, Climate Change & Human Health The class provides students with knowledge & skills applicable to atmospheric pollution and climate change impacts, ranging from local to global scales. This includes a focus on the assessment & management of impacts on human health through effective interface between the public health sciences of environmental epidemiology and environmental toxicology; and environmental engineering approaches to manage environmental risks. The class achieves these aims through research-led teaching at the interface between public health and environmental engineering, with a particular focus on methodologies based on risk-centred approaches. The class is delivered using lectures based on a well-established textbook, computer laboratories and project-based teaching. Student interaction is encouraged throughout the class through directed reading, project work, studentled question sessions, and structured feedback.
