Student should pick a research topic of their interest in the field of environmental and human health risk assessment. They are expected to develop a final report (6-10 pages) dealing with the policy surrounding an environmental contaminant or a group of environmental contaminants. The report should include (but not necessarily be limited to) topics such as the historical development of regulatory levels for the contaminant, the assumptions used to determine the regulatory level, development of risk assessment framework for a hypothetical scenario, or the recommendations for remediation for different forms and amounts of contaminations.
