Humankind has used technological advances to exploit the environment to its benefit, with the consequence of introducing pollution and environmental damage. This Domain considers the interface between the environment and human well-being, with particular focus on the triad that ties human health to the environment through the elements of food and infectious agents. Each of these elements is influenced by planned and unplanned environmental disturbances. For example, the use of insecticides presents dilemmas with regard to the environment, economics, and human health.
You can choose from two streams of study within this domain: Population and Cellular. In the Population concentration you will gain a depth of understanding at an ecosystem level that looks at society, land, and population health. In the Cellular concentration you will explore these interactions in more depth, at a physiological level.
