  • describe the major environmental/occupational health problems to the general public as well as specific communities within that population;
  • explain the basic mechanism of toxicology and dose-response regarding environmental/occupational toxicants;
  • describe the federal and state regulatory programs that relate to environmental (community) and worker (occupational) protection;
