An introduction to current problems in the environmental health sciences. Five blocks are presented that deal with (1) community health problems, (2) water quality, (3) air quality, (4) occupational health and safety, and (5) environmental microbiology. A sixth special problem block will deal with current exploration of a variety of ethical issues surrounding the relation of human beings to their environment. It will begin by looking at a range of traditional moral theories in order to examine different evaluations of the ethical duties of humans to nonhuman creatures and things.
