  • describe the major environmental health problems facing the general public as well as among specific communities or susceptible, vulnerable subpopulations;
  • explain the basic mechanism of toxicology and dose-response as applied to environmental toxicants;
  • describe the federal and state regulatory programs relating to environmental (community) protection;
  • develop a testable model of environmental exposures (one or more agents) and adverse health outcomes (causing injury, disability, or other measure of morbidity or mortality); and
