  3. Metals and Inorganic Metal Compounds in Toxicology and Ecotoxicology

Learn about the importance of metals in toxicology and ecotoxicology

Metals are used in almost every aspect of modern society, from transport to energy, housing to healthcare, food to technology. Innovation continues apace to develop ever more useful metal-containing materials for wider and more specialised applications, like for new energy technologies (eg. solar cells, batteries, wind generation, etc) and to produce complex electronic devices and networks.

This course is focused on the properties and approaches that are key for the appropriate assessment and management of risks associated with metals. The course will help you develop an understanding of the properties of metals and the impact of their toxicity on humans and the environment.

How will this course teach me about metals toxicity and management?

This course has been written by experts in the industry with a vested interest in ensuring the widespread knowledge of the toxicity, management and impact metals can have in our lives. 

What will be covered?

  • Natural background and essentiality
  • Bioavailability
  • Data handling (quality, relevance, aggregation) and read-across
  • Inhalation toxicology
  • Genotoxicity/carcinogenicity
  • Assessment of man via the environment exposure
  • The role of materials flow and diffuse source assessments to determine the regional and continental risk
