Course Description
The water we drink is intricately linked to our wellbeing. This course provides an introduction to contaminants in drinking water supplies and disparities in safe water access, globally and nationally. We will review how contaminants enter water systems, their effects on health and methods for their detection and removal. We will cover case studies of local, domestic and international water safety crises (e.g., lead, PFAS) and waterborne disease epidemics (e.g., cholera).
