The goal of this course is to introduce students to unifying concepts of biology, microbiology and toxicology relating to water, and the most common and significant sources of infectious diseases caused by microbial contamination. Students explore the types of toxicants present in aquatic systems, their routes of exposure and modes of action, as well as their effects on human health and the environment. Prerequisite: WTTP 2700 and WTTP 2710 and WTTP 2720 and WTTP 2730 and WTTP 2740 or equivalent. Note: Students will only receive credit for one of WTTP 2800 or WTTP 2801.
