MPH 643 Principles of Toxicology
In this presentation I present the following:
1) State the chemical you selected and describe where it is found in the environment.
2) How are people exposed and what is the most common pathway of exposure?
3) Describe how the chemical is metabolized and how it is distributed throughout the body.
4) Describe how the chemical is stored or excreted from the body.
5) Describe how fast (i.e. the kinetics) the chemical is metabolized and excreted from the body.
6) Describe if the chemical can be measured in the human body or its excrements and how it could be measured.
7) Injury Mechanism – For the chemical you selected discuss how the chemical causes damage to the human body. Do not simply list symptoms or tell the class what the damage is, describe the mechanism of how the damage occurs

Group project during Social and Behavioral Sciences for Public Health where as a group we discussed and presented on heart disease. During our collaboration we wanted to define the preventive strategies to the population and make them see the need for taking insurance coverage and being informed about financial support. Significant work and resources are contributed by the CDC in the hopes of reducing the prevalence of heart disease in the United States.
