The relationship with the environment is a key determinant of human health. From polluted cities to uncontaminated forests, the relationship between the individual and different environmental factors can result in different states of well-being or disease. Understanding the elements to be taken into account, from an epidemiological point of view, to assess the impact of different factors on health is a very complex task. Only through the intersection of environmental, territorial, urban, epidemiological and mortality data, as well as other health, demographic, cultural and social indicators, can we model potential scenarios for a given population to regulate health and outline any policy actions to improve the health of the population and limit the damage resulting from specific environmental drivers. The environment can indirectly or directly affect health. It can promote the circulation of pathogens and other biological factors, such as pollens and other allergens, which, when present, affect the susceptible population. However, it can also act by means of non-biological drivers, such as the presence of chemical and physical contaminants: in this case, it is more difficult to determine a cause-effect relationship and epidemiological studies try to describe and quantify the damage from exposure, both acute and chronic, to different substances. In general, preventing toxic effects of environmental origin requires a complex effort both on behaviour and lifestyles, as well as on the rules and institutional measures that can guarantee the safety of the population exposed to environmental risks.
Graduates in Chemical safety and Toxicological Environmental Sciences will contribute to the improvement of environmental conditions by identifying harmful situations in the living environments, which may cause damage to the population. They will work to remove dangerous situations and achieve better environmental conditions including the quality and safety of the elements that are part of the food chain. In addition, from a social standpoint, they can help foster cultural and scientific aggregation, to protect the environment and therefore population health, to relaunch cultural commitment on this issue and promote, through debate, information and initiatives, the protection of the environment and an improvement in the health conditions of the population.

Professional profile and employment opportunities:

  • chemical technicians;
  • workplace safety technicians;
  • environmental control and reclamation technicians;
  • biochemical laboratory technicians;
  • food technicians.
