Concerned about toxics in consumer products? Join this course to examine the topic from multiple perspectives: the science of hazard and risk, the factors that drive outrage, and the regulations designed to protect us. The course content is designed to demystify underlying scientific concepts. Case studies of headline issues and guest speakers from the industry make abstract concepts come alive. This course provides students with the tools to support effective action to make products more sustainable and to make better choices as a consumer.
