This course pulls together key material from all previous courses in the Chemical Risk Assessment program and discusses how it is integrated into a final risk characterization. It also covers risk perception, communication and management, and New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) poised to play key roles in future chemical risk assessments and nascent sustainable chemical policies. A final project proposal is also developed. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursRestriction(s): Open to School of Environment and Sustainability (SENS) and Toxicology students, and other students by permission. Prerequisite(s): Permission of the instructor; Students need a bachelor's degree in a science-related discipline (e.g., environmental science, toxicology, biology, chemistry, health sciences, or a related discipline), or they must have equivalent scientific and technical experience from work or other educational and training program. They must also have completed TOX 870 and TOX 876 and at least 2 other courses (6 CU) from the MRA program, or equivalent.
