Description:

The Advanced Topics in EHS series of courses is designed to expand on topics that are introduced in the basic SCHC courses. The topics of the toxicology of the liver and kidney are introduced in the SCHC course Toxicology for Hazard Communication.

The goal of this course is to provide participants with an understanding of the toxicology of the liver and kidney.
