| Course description |
| This lecture will be offered by Yuichi Iwasaki, a part-time lecturer. Dr. Iwasaki is also involved in assessments such as risk communication and river management with high metal concentration around abandoned mines, and I ask for lectures from the viewpoint of practitioners. Learn the concept and basis of human health risk assessment and ecological risk assessment of chemical substances, and introduce case studies and practice calculations. In addition to one-way "lectures", students will actively make opportunities for presentations by students and opportunities to think and discuss with their own heads. In addition, two or three outside speakers will be invited to provide related topics. |
| Expected Learning |
|
1) Acquire how to evaluate various risks in daily life (tips on how to “survive” daily life) 2) Understand the current states of environmental risk assessment and management of chemicals |

| Prerequisites |
| It is preferable to have a high-level (slightly) mathematical background, but we welcome those who are willing to actively participate in lectures and have the motivation to learn using their own head. |
| Required Text(s) and Materials |
| No text in this class. The materials necessary for the lecture will be distributed each time. Also, the slides used for the lecture will be made available via Moodle after the lecture. |
