Environmental Toxics: Ambient Air Pollution
Air pollution, particularly air toxics and particulate matter, may have important impacts on human health. New data on air toxics are providing researchers with new tools to explore health risks and health outcomes.
Learning Objectives: 1. Define air toxics and explore current state of knowledge of their health risks. 2. Link air toxics and particulate matter ambient air levels to health outcomes. 3. Teach new techniques to research health risks.
