Central teaching topics are:

• Microbiological and chemical quality of drinking water,

• safety of indoor and outdoor swimming,

• indoor and outdoor air quality,

• waste handling, as well as

• strategies and policy to protect regional and global environmental health and

• legislation in control of environmental health.
