Various experimental techniques used to measure exposure will be introduced, reviewed and discussed; will also explore statistical approaches used to evaluate variables contributing to exposure. Students will gain thorough understanding of how to develop an effective exposure assessment experiment and how to use various mathematical models to quantify this exposure. Prerequisites: ENVIRON 710 statistics; college level general chemistry, or consent of instructor.
