环境卫生哲学博士-暴露科学与环境流行病学（暴露科学）

防止或最大程度地减少空气或水传播的物理，化学或生物污染物的暴露，并在职业和非职业环境中促进健康与安全，是我们保护公众健康的方法之一。利用化学，生物学，物理学，流行病学，风险评估和数学原理，我们开发了针对环境污染问题的创新解决方案。
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree program is a full-time degree program that offers a unique interdisciplinary learning experience where the course of study is individually tailored based on the student's interest in understanding and finding solutions to pressing problems in environmental health and engineering. The goal of PhD training in EHE is to prepare graduates to engage in scholarship and professional practice that creates new knowledge, use research to transform practice and improve the health of the environment and the public, and effectively communicate research findings to the public. The program requires didactic coursework followed by an average of four to five years of research towards a doctoral dissertation (also referred to as a thesis on official forms and committees).<br> Evaluating and preventing or minimizing exposure from airborne, waterborne or foodborne physical, chemical or biological pollutants, and promoting health and safety in occupational and non-occupational environments are major strategies to protect public health. Using principles of chemistry, biology, physics, engineering, epidemiology, risk assessment and mathematics, we develop innovative solutions to environmental contamination problems. We develop techniques to measure contaminants in various media, develop strategies and conduct studies to assess the levels of exposures in populations, evaluate the impact of a hazard, offer solutions on treatment or containment, promote regulations and policies to prevent human or environmental contamination, and perform quality control checks.
