Module 4, Closes Monday, February 11
Introduction
This module continues with the fate of chemicals: 4A deals with fate of chemicals
in the environment, and 4B deals with fate of chemicals in the body, a science
called toxicokinetics. In 4A we'll review some basic definitions and go on to
an exercise in determining where "your" chemical will wind up: air,
water, fish, etc. We'll use Dr. McKay's Level I model, but you will have to
do a little digging to get your parameters. In 4C we'll continue to learn about
scientific literature. There is a link to the closure module from the last time
I taught this class. You might be interested in those comments and questions.
Later I will update it with your comments and questions. Finally you will find
some information about your class term paper. You should read the information
and start thinking about the paper.
