| Inhalt | Basic principles of environmental epidemiology will be acquired by means of lectures and a case study. We will deal with various examples of environmental exposures (air pollution, noise, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, green space) that are relevant in the context of international and public health. The aim of the case study is to obtain practical skills in environmental exposure assessment, data collection, and data analysis using the example of health effects from noise. Content: Study designs in environmental epidemiology Principles of exposure assessment in epidemiology Topics: Noise, air pollution, non-ionizing and ionizing radiation, radon Exposure assessment methods: personal measurements, fixed site measurements, spatial modelling, biomarker, job-exposure matrix, questionnaire Validation of exposure assessment Type of errors in exposure assessment Effect of exposure assessment errors and the implications for study results Regulation of environmental risks Methods: Lectures and practical work |
| Lernziele | To understand the concept of environmental epidemiology with a special focus on exposure assessment; to know specific study designs used in environmental epidemiology; to become familiar with a variety of relevant exposures in international and public health research; to know basic principles of various exposure assessment methods; to be aware of the effects of various types of exposure assessment errors on the results of epidemiological studies. |
