Describes the basic properties of ionizing radiation, the interaction of radiation with matter, radiation detection, units and dosimetry. Discusses the natural radiation environment, radioactivity and its distribution and accumulation by chemical and biological processes. Presents the biological effects of radiation, particularly carcinogenesis, both at the epidemiological and molecular level. Prerequisite(s): Toxicological, Pharmaceutical, Biomedical Science or Imaging Science (including Radiology and Medical Imaging) student majors. Note: This course is a hybrid course with TOX 310, and this course cannot be taken for credit after previously taking TOX 310.
