Task: 1.Study these definitions because they are fair game for the module 1 exam and are critical to understanding environmental epidemiological studies:
Toxicology, poison, toxic agent, toxicity, toxic substance, toxicant, toxin, dose, dose-response assessment, threshold, lethal dose, carcinogen, exposure assessment, risk characterization.
Also be familiar with how a dose-response curve looks, on average.
NOTE that these definitions are not to be submitted to the professor - they are for your study guidance. 2.Consider the term synergism. Give an example of synergism with COVID-19, using individual risk factors in your example. What combinations of environmental exposures (not just chemical exposures) could produce an effect that is greater than the sum of the individual effects? Who is affected most? Include citations if you refer to a particular study or news source. - Word limit: 200 words 3.Consider the exposure assessment pullout box on p. 65 of the text. In addition to the bolded words, it is critical to consider the characteristics of the population that is exposed (the sociodemographics of that population and underlying health conditions).
