This course aims is to provide an introduction to the principles of toxicology, physiology and epidemiology. The course will cover the main types of harmful effects to target organs from exposure to chemical hazards at work, and the hazards associated with common hazardous substances. Learning Outcomes On completing this course successfully the student will be able to:
• Provide definitions of commonly used toxicological terms;
• Describe the main routes by which hazardous substances can enter the body, and the factors which influence their absorption, distribution, storage and elimination;
• Describe the main sources of information on hazardous substances and processes;
• Describe the main features of the principal target organs affected by hazardous substances at work, and the factors which influence the degree of harm;
• Describe the main routes of exposure and toxic and health effects for hazardous substances commonly encountered in the workplace.

The module of Advanced Physical chemistry introduces to undergraduate students in chemistry the concepts of theoretical chemistry that are built on Group Theory (for chemists) and Statistical Thermodynamics.
The Quantum chemistry module for second year chemistry undergraduate students will prevail strong background in theoretical concepts that are based on quantum mechanics postulates and Schrodinger equation, which later are applied to various chemical aspects.
