This site is the homepage for a course on environmental risk assessment taught by Douglas Crawford-Brown at the University of North Carolina. This course provides an overview of the evidential reasoning, methods and applications of risk assessment in understanding environmental risks and selecting effective environmental policies that protect human health. Topics discussed include understanding philosophical features of discourse within risk analysis, collection and analysis of evidence used in risk assessment; physical, chemical and biological processes that underlie environmental risks; treatment of uncertainty and variability; simple quantitative models of human health risks; and the performance of human health risk assessments for regulatory and other purposes. Links to downloadable chapters are also included.
