From the calendar
Official source · Faculty of Arts & ScienceOrganic chemical contaminants surround us in our everyday lives (e.g. in medications, personal care products, flame retardants, refrigerants) and because of this, they are present in the environment and in ourselves. In this course we will explore the fate of chemicals in the environment as a whole, as well as in the body, to understand how chemicals can be designed to mitigate the risks associated with their use and unintended release. Specific topics will include environmental partitioning; environmentally-relevant transformation processes; the chemistry and effects of redox-active species; and the toxicity/detoxification of electrophilic species in the body. Skills in big data analysis and environmental modeling will be developed through an introduction to the R programming language at the beginner level.

What people actually got
Last observed Winter 20263 terms observed
This is a student-contributed aggregate, not an official University of Toronto record. It is also not a measure of how hard the course is — a course average moves with who enrols in it, not only with the material.
Per-term figures stay hidden until each term clears five contributors. 3 observations can support one honest number; they cannot support 3.

Counts, not a library. Pyko does not host or distribute course files, and this page is not an offer to supply one — the archive is what lets these pages describe how a course is assessed, which matters most where no syllabus has been verified.

What this opens up
1 course list CHM310H1 as a prerequisiteListing a course here means it names CHM310H1 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what CHM310H1 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
