Technology and Pharmaceutical Legislation and Toxicology Ii
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
The aim of the course is to introduce the students to the main classes of xenobiotics (natural and synthetic molecules) exerting toxic effects on humans. Exposure conditions are examined, the toxic effects are described, and the molecular mechanisms explaining the toxicity of the different molecules are analyzed. Experimental and epidemiological data defining the risk assessment are critically analysed. Another objective of the course is that of providing knowledge of the legislation in the environmental and occupational health and safety fields for the protection of the environment, flora, fauna, ecosystems and human health from the impacts deriving from human activities. The knowledge of the prescriptions in this area represents a useful completion of the professional skills both for those who will work in companies that have to deal with these regulatory requirements, and for those who will work at environmental protection agency, at analysis laboratories or who will support the institutions in identifying new emission limits based on available technologies or discoveries about the toxic effects of the substances used in production processes.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student must demonstrate to possess an adequate knowledge of the toxic effects of natural and synthetic molecules and of the mechanisms explaining their toxicity. The student is also expected to be able to critically analyse toxicological issues, based on the available data: experimental, occupational and epidemiological.
Expected learning outcomes also include: acquisition of the bases to understand environmental legislation and on Health and Safety; knowledge of the objectives and principles of the environmental legislation and on Health and Safety; knowledge of the main mandatory regulatory aspects applicable in companies, organizations, laboratories, and used by supervisory bodies in the control activities about environmental impacts and about the Health and Safety.

Assessment methods and Criteria
Toxicology 2 - For the entire duration of the emergency phase, the students are asked to orally answer to three open questions on the topics discussed during the course. The exam is passed if the students reach the score of 18/30 in two out of the three answers and the average score of the three answers is at least 18/30. The oral presentation given by the students during the training hours will also contribute, up to 5%, to the final mark.
Technology and pharmaceutical legislation - Until the end of the emergency, the exam will be held orally using the MS Teams platform. It will be evaluated with the students and on the basis of the University provisions, the possibility of taking ongoing written tests in the presence, at the middle and end of the course. The oral exam will be based on 3 open questions and is considered passed if the average of the marks obtained in each answer is 18/30 and the minimum mark of each question is not less than 16/30. The ongoing tests are each made up of 3 open questions and it is possible to access the second test only if a grade higher than 16/30 is obtained. The grade of each test is the sum of the scores obtained in each question (the maximum score for each question is written on the text) and the final grade is the average of the two.
