| Målbeskrivelse | |
| The focus of the course is on risk assessment of industrial chemicals, but also other types of chemical substances, e.g. pharmaceuticals, are included. The purpose of the course is to provide a background for work with toxicological risk assessment. Toxicological risk assessments are performed in many areas of regulation, i.e. in the setting of guidance values for occupational exposure, in the setting of health-based limit values for environmental pollutants, or in the preparation or assessment of toxicological evaluations from producers of chemicals or pharmaceuticals. Knowledge The student knows - the general principles of toxicological risk assessment - relevant test methods used for toxicological risk assessment - how toxicological risk assessment is performed in various areas of regulation Skills The student can - understand and explain how to design and perform toxicological test programmes - interpret the results of test programmes for toxicological risk assessment Competencies The student can - understand and explain how to design and perform toxicological test programmes - interpret the results of test programmes for toxicological risk assessment | |
