Structured into the following modules:
Promuovere la conoscenza delle metodologie epidemiologiche applicate all'igiene ambientale. Conoscere l'approccio dell'igine applicata agli ambienti indoor. Conoscere i metodi comunicativi utilizzati nella fase della risk communication.
Emergencies:
none
Risk comunication:
None
Clinical Microbiology:
It 'requires the knowledge of chemistry, general biology, mathematic and Italian language. Knowledge of these disciplines is important to understand the microbial metabolic processes and have a basic understanding of the characteristics of biological molecules and enzymatic reactions that govern cellular processes.
Indoor pollution prevention:
none
Emergencies:
1) trauma and triage
2) Avoidable death in trauma patients
3) Pandemia. defintions and historical prespectives
4) Non-conventional warfare: bioogical agents
5) Non-conventional warfare: chemical agents.
6) Oraganizative issues in maxiemergencies
7) CO poisoning
8) diving emergencies and oxygen hyperbaric treatment
Risk comunication:
Risk communication and risk perception; Care communication; Consensum communication; Crisis communication; Mass media and public communication.
Clinical Microbiology:
The objective is to deliver a basic understanding of the study of microorganisms in particular bacteria and viruses and the host interplay. The course aims to make known the vast potential of microorganisms in the new fields of biotechnology, so a basic knowledge is essential to achieving a fundamental and jargon of a discipline at the forefront of modern biological sciences.
Indoor pollution prevention:
The humid air
The aeraulic plants
The risks present
Emergencies:
None

Indoor pollution prevention:
laws and guidelines already provided with course documents
Emergencies:
1) features of traumatic events; time distribution of mortality; triage in different conditions with simulation of real events
2) avoidable deaths in trauma patients: techniques of evaluation in different settings.
3 )Pandemics: defintions and historical aspects: medioeval plague, 1918 influenza, SARS and HNI influenza: diffrences and similitudes.
4) Non-conventional warfare: classification of biological agents according to their virulence and severity of related diseases.
5) non-conventional warfare: historical aspects, military and terrorist use, antidotes, differences between accidental release or terrosti chemical attack.
6) organization of maxiemegencies: advanced medicla post and evacuation.
7) CO poisoning. causes, symptoms and tretament.
8) Diving accidents and gas embolsim: causes, symptoms and tretametn in the hyperbaric chamber.
