EHPLE Public Health study plan

Map the exposure-assessment paradigm (source, pathway, receptor) and write a one-page diagram from memory

Distinguish point-of-contact, biological, and proxy exposure measurements and give two field examples of each

Compute a chronic daily intake from a worked inhalation and ingestion scenario using standard dose equations

Explain the role of biomonitoring and toxicokinetics in interpreting internal dose

List the main exposure-modeling inputs and identify which are most uncertain in a residential soil scenario

Apply the four study-design types to an environmental exposure question and justify the choice

Identify the main sources of exposure misclassification and describe how each biases effect estimates

Interpret measures of association and confidence intervals from an environmental epidemiology result

Explain how surveillance systems detect and confirm an environmental disease cluster

Select sampling and analysis methods appropriate to a named environmental medium

Construct and interpret an epidemic curve, attack rate, and standardized rate ratio from supplied counts

Distinguish screening from diagnostic testing and compute sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values

Describe notifiable-disease reporting flow and the roles of local, state, and federal surveillance

Identify the strengths and limits of syndromic versus case-based surveillance

Explain how surveillance data inform outbreak detection thresholds and response triggers

Outline the statutory framework governing air, water, and hazardous-waste regulation and the agencies that administer it

Trace the risk-assessment and risk-management sequence used to set an environmental standard

Distinguish the roles of statute, regulation, guidance, and permit conditions

Explain enforcement mechanisms, citizen-suit provisions, and administrative appeal paths

Compare precautionary and risk-based approaches using a single contaminant example

Classify the principal biological, chemical, and physical food hazards and name a control for each

Apply the seven HACCP principles to a simple food-production flow and identify critical control points

Describe the roles of inspection, licensing, and outbreak investigation in food-protection programs

Explain temperature control, cross-contamination, and date-marking requirements in retail food service

Trace a foodborne outbreak from complaint to traceback and recall

Identify the major drinking-water contaminants, their health significance, and their regulatory limits

Describe the multibarrier treatment train from source to tap and the purpose of each barrier

Explain wastewater treatment stages and the fate of pathogens and nutrients

Interpret disinfection byproduct tradeoffs and residual-disinfectant requirements

Outline the elements of a water-safety or sanitary-survey program and how failures are corrected

Identify the six criteria air pollutants and their principal sources and health effects

Compute and interpret an air-quality index value and describe the associated health messaging

Explain how dispersion modeling and monitoring networks support exposure estimates

Build a risk-communication message for a community facing an air-quality advisory

Draft program objectives, indicators, and an evaluation plan for an environmental health intervention

Synthesize all seven domains into a single integrated case response

Complete timed practice sets and record error patterns by domain

Revisit the two weakest domains and close identified knowledge gaps

State the key regulatory limits and standards most likely to be tested

Finalize a one-page formula and definition sheet for final review
