Students will be introduced to local, regional, and global implications of toxins in the soil, air, and water. Exercises will include collection of environmental data (e.g., lead, ground-level ozone, etc.), spatial analyses using a geographic information system (GIS), and examination of disease clusters using epidemiologic data.
