| Principles of toxicity testing and test battery construction to known and unknown compounds will be trained based on applications for the use of e.g. food additives and veterinary drugs. On the basis of research articles on the risk management of e.g. potential dioxin/PCB exposure through food products risk management and communication will be studied. Taking the start point from FAO papers on the development of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) systems for mycotoxins in the food chain such systems, their development and impact will be discussed. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Undervisningsform | |||||||||||||||||||||
| The students will work with Cases in a problem based manner, i.e. after an introdution they will go into groups to discuss the case and identify the issues raised. From there they will define and identify their relevant study areas and materials in a cooperation with the facilitator. Results will be presented either as lectures by the student or as reports. Opponence from other students/student groups will be an integrated part of the course activities, and will be compulsary for all students. This study form will be complemented by true article reading- and discussion colloquia. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Målbeskrivelse | |||||||||||||||||||||
| The objectives of the course is to specialise the students within the different steps of assessing health risks of compounds such as pesticides, chemicals from pollution, food- and feed additives and compounds released e.g. from packaging materials. Knowledge: -Decribe the processes of hazard identification, dose response assessment, exposure assessment, risk characterisation and risk communication. Skills: -Comprehend the background for the set-up of "hazard analysis of critical control points" (HACCP) quality assurance systems with respect to chemicals and toxins -Apply principles of toxicity testing and test battery construction to new compounds and situations. -Comprehend the ethical considerations behind the set-up and choise of animal models. -Apply theory based tools to make simple hazard identifications and risk characterisations Competences: Communicate and cooperate with professional toxicologists and chemical food safety specialists | |||||||||||||||||||||
