1. Demonstrate knowledge of the primary scientific facts and 
principles of environmental health, including exposure issues 
and related health problems resulting from biological, chemical, 
and physical agents found in air, water, food, soil, the 
workplace, and other environmental origins through testing, 
projects, and writing. 
2. Evaluate approaches for assessing, preventing, and 
controlling environmental hazards that pose risks to human 
health and safety.
3. Analyze how direct and indirect human, ecological, and 
safety effects of major environmental and occupational agents 
affect human and environmental health.
4. Critically assess current human activities that cause major 
environmental risks and potential solutions to mitigate these 
risks.
5. Evaluate genetic, physiologic, and psychosocial factors 
that affect susceptibility to adverse health outcomes from 
exposure to environmental hazards.
6. Interpret environmental issues using concepts from risk 
management, risk communication, and environmental justice.
7. Interpret summary data from toxicity data and use concepts of 
general mechanisms of toxicity in eliciting a toxic response to 
various environmental exposures to explain risks.
8. Evaluate the roles of federal and state environmental control 
agencies, their policies, and regulatory programs related to 
controlling environmental health issues.
9. Conduct primary literature reviews of key current 
environmental health concerns and research topics, critically
assess them, and identify constraints.
