Description
The aim of this course is to help students understand the tripartite relationship between safety - legislation - detection tools. Human activity to meet the needs of growth, well-being and health of populations requires the monitoring of industrial practices. Rules governing limit levels for pollutants and other substances imply acceptable limits that must be quantified.
This course covers European food safety legislation, which requires a pragmatic approach to compliance with industry standards. Biology students working in a wide range of sectors, from agronomy to healthcare, need to be familiar with the fundamentals of quality management.
