CSP 25 The Urban Environment and Human Health
This class will investigate the urban environmental factors that contribute to poor human health and diseases through technical readings, informed discussions and critical analysis. Writings will effectively communicate research methodologies and outcomes in a non-technical and common language. Through readings and discussions, we will identify specific chemicals in urban pollution that are linked to inflammatory diseases and consider the communities most affected by these pollutants with a focus on California and, specifically, the Los Angeles Basin.
